skills that would otherwise take a long time to acquire. You should be a safer and better driver,
always trying to enhance your knowledge and skills whenever possible. You
will also drive on some types of road that you have not driven on before
such as motorways and the other driving matters not covered by the learner
syllabus. What does it cover? The Pass Plus lessons cover ·
