Overview
What Pass PlusInvolve
What it is
Pass Plus is a practical training course for drivers who have recently passed their test. It covers driving situations the test does not, helping you become a safer, more experienced driver sooner. With KGS, it is taught in an automatic car.
Who it is for
It is designed for newly qualified drivers, especially those who passed recently and have limited experience of motorways, dual carriageways, night driving or poor weather.
When you need it
Pass Plus is most useful in your first year after passing, when new drivers are statistically at greatest risk and before habits are set.
Why an instructor matters
Passing your test proves you can drive safely under test conditions. Pass Plus builds the experience to handle conditions you have not yet met, with an instructor beside you rather than alone.
The cost of waiting
What HappensIf You Put It Off
The first months after passing are when inexperience shows most.
Unfamiliar roads
Many new drivers meet motorways or fast rural roads for the first time on their own.
Night and weather
Darkness, rain and glare change how far ahead you can see and how quickly you can stop.
Overconfidence
Feeling confident is not the same as being experienced. The gap is where incidents happen.
Higher costs
New drivers often face high insurance premiums. Some insurers may offer discounts for Pass Plus, so check with yours.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Avoiding motorways completely, then using one under pressure
- Driving at night or in bad weather for the first time alone
- Assuming the test covered everything you need
- Not checking whether your insurer recognises Pass Plus

In detail
What the LessonsCover
Pass Plus is a DVSA scheme made up of six practical modules, taken over at least 6 hours. There is no test at the end; you are assessed as you go.
In town
Busy town centres, complex junctions and heavy traffic, with a focus on anticipation and hazard awareness.
All weathers
Adjusting speed, following distance and observation for rain, wind and poor visibility. Where conditions do not allow, this can be covered in theory.
On rural roads
Bends, narrow lanes, hills and slow-moving vehicles: a very different challenge from London streets.
At night
Dealing with dazzle, judging distance in the dark and using headlights correctly.
On dual carriageways
Joining and leaving at speed, lane discipline and safe overtaking.
On motorways
Joining, lane changes, overtaking, smart motorways and leaving safely, building on the skills from dual carriageways.
Why KGS
Why Learners ChooseKGS Driving School
One instructor, every lesson
KGS Driving School is an independent, one-instructor school. You learn with Satnam Singh Cheema from your first lesson to your last, so you never have to explain your progress to someone new or adjust to a different teaching style halfway through. He knows what you have covered, what you find difficult and what to focus on next.
Lessons adapted to you
Satnam is known for a calm, patient and helpful approach. Rather than following a rigid script, he adapts each lesson to the way you learn, building a personalised plan around your experience, progression and abilities. As one pupil put it, he approaches teaching in many ways to adapt to each learner.
Time to actually learn
Every lesson lasts at least 2 hours. Shorter lessons often end just as you settle in. Two hours gives you time to warm up, learn something new and practise it until it starts to feel natural, which makes better use of every pound you spend.
Prices you can see
Prices are shown openly: £38 per hour on weekdays between 9am and 5pm, and £40 per hour after 5pm and at weekends. A prepaid 10-hour block saves £15. Payment is by bank transfer at least 4 days before each lesson, so there is never any confusion on the day.
Trusted and checked
Satnam is fully DBS checked and teaches pupils of all ages from 17 upwards. Parents booking lessons for a son or daughter, and adults learning later in life, can feel reassured about who is sitting beside them in the car.
Local roads, real experience
Lessons are based in Plumstead and cover the Royal Borough of Greenwich and the London Borough of Bexley, including Woolwich, Abbey Wood, Erith, Charlton, Belvedere, Greenwich, Blackheath and Bexleyheath. You practise on the busy high streets, residential roads, roundabouts and dual carriageways you will actually drive on once you have your licence.
Getting started is simple
Call Satnam on 07887 818521 or send a short enquiry with your name, phone number, the type of lesson you want and your area. He will reply personally to talk through what you need, agree a lesson time and confirm the price before you pay anything.
What to bring
Bring your driving licence (provisional or full) to every lesson, along with any glasses or contact lenses you need for driving. Wear comfortable, flat shoes that let you feel the pedals properly. Avoid heavy boots, high heels and flip-flops. If you have any medical condition that could affect your driving, mention it when you book so lessons can be planned with it in mind.
Automatic only
Why Learnin an Automatic
Every KGS lesson is taught in an automatic car. With no clutch to control and no gears to change, you can give your full attention to the road: observation, positioning, speed and planning ahead. For many learners, especially nervous drivers and people returning after a break, this makes driving feel far more manageable.
Passing your test in an automatic car gives you a licence to drive automatic cars only. For most drivers this is no longer a real limitation. Automatic, hybrid and electric cars are increasingly common on UK roads, and many new cars are now sold as automatics only.
Automatic cars are also well suited to London driving. Stop-start traffic, busy junctions and hill starts are simpler when the car handles the gears for you, leaving you calmer and more focused in exactly the situations where concentration matters most.
