Free places available on Pass Plus Cymru - 21/11/06

 

Places are still available on a special free driving course being run by the Vale of Glamorgan Council on Saturday, November 25.

 

The Pass Plus Cymru course, which will be run at the Barry Fire Station between 10.30am and 1.30pm, can be taken after individuals pass their driving test. By building on driving skills, knowledge and hazard awareness, the course is aimed at helping reduce the risks of being involved in an accident and could help drivers qualify for a substantial discount with many insurance companies.

 

The course, consisting of a compulsory theory session and eight hours (shared) on road driving experience, is subsidised by Welsh Assembly funding and considerable savings can be made compared to normal Pass Plus rates.

 

The Vale Council has been running the courses since July, 2006, and, at present, they are being offered FREE to all participants.

 

Pass Plus Cymru is managed by MAC Driver Training on behalf of the 22 Welsh local authorities and is supported by Direct Line Insurance.

 

To log on to the course, please go to www.dragondriver.com or ring 0845 0504255 or contact Shirley Dodd-Clark, Road Safety Officer, on 01446 704783.
