Westmorland and Furness Council offers £150 subsidy for young drivers' advanced training

Overview

Westmorland and Furness Council is offering a £150 subsidy towards the Pass Plus scheme to help young drivers improve their skills and confidence, aiming to reduce road traffic collisions involving motorists aged 17 to 24.

Key points

  • Westmorland and Furness Council is providing a £150 funding subsidy for the Pass Plus advanced driving scheme.
  • The initiative is open to drivers aged 17 to 24 who have passed their practical driving test within the last 12 months.
  • The Pass Plus course includes at least six hours of additional training covering rural roads, night driving, poor weather, and high-speed routes without a final test.
  • The council introduced the scheme because young drivers are disproportionately represented in road traffic collisions.
