NEW INITIATIVE
In an effort to reduce the number of accidents involving new drivers North Yorkshire County Council have come up with an amazing Goverment funded initiative called the ‘Enhanced Pass Plus Scheme’
The Enhanced Pass Plus Scheme is DSA approved and is based on the current Pass Plus Scheme but with an additional Discussion Group Module.
THE COST
The overall cost is £174.00 but the really good news is that North Yorkshire County Council will pay HALF OF THE FEE for you. All you have to pay is £87.00. Not only does this mean excelent value for money but you will be elligible for insurance discounts and invaluable additional driving experience such as driving on motorways and in city centres.
DO I QUALIFY FOR THE SUBSIDY?
YES IF YOU -
- Are a resident in the North Yorkshire area.
- Have passed your driving test in the last 9 months.
- Agree to attend the additional 2 hour New Driver Discussion Group held within the North Yorkshire area.
- Be willing to evaluate the scheme.
- Please note that there will be only limited places so there is no guarantee.
WHO CAN DELIVER THE ENHANCED PASS PLUS SCHEME?
Only driving instructors registered with the North Yorkshire county Council can deliver the Enhanced Pass Plus Scheme. Andy McDermott from AMC School of Motoring successfully completed the course in the ‘Delivery of the Enhanced Pass Plus Course’ and can not only take former pupils elligible for the course but can take ANY elligible new driver for the course.
OPINION
I was extemely impressed with the amount of thought and work put into this initiative aimed at offering help and guidance to new drivers who are often unaware of how their inexperience leaves them vulnerable in the early weeks and months of their driving careers. I was given an incite into how the Discussion Group works and I am certain that new driver taking part in the EPPS will find it open, enjoyable and informative. Everyone’s input is important and everyone’s opinions are welcome. There always has been so much to gain from the Pass Plus but now there more incentive than ever to take part.
