i did mine a week after my test

it acts as 1 years ncb it only counts on your ffirst car you insure by yourslef

[Predator_R32]

you have to take it within 12 months of passing your test

think i saved about 300 on insurance when i did mine

[ets2k9]

I did mine one it really helps with the insurance companies untill you get 5 points then they dont want to know.

[sillysammysnail]

12 months so im past it :( damn, just!

[Danr]

I did pass plus, helped out loads on my first policy. It even knocked off about £30 for the second year :)

It is worth doing aswell, teaches you how to drive in loads of different conditions :)

so it wouldnt help years down the line jus until i smack up my first car?

[Colin]

I think its only valid for a year, correct me if im wrong.

My brother did this after passing his test and took his insurance down from £2500 to about £1700.

Worth it more for lads as girls insurance is quiet low anyway.

[She_Racer]

i wish i did mine!!

[Josh_Phipps]

It was part of the deal with the insurance company that i did Pass +, Saved me about £600 for the sake for £120 to do it

[Emma_ZS]

It didn't effect someone i knows insurance

When I first passed my test 4 years ago, I asked my insurance company how much it would save me and they said it would only be £40 on my policy so I never bothered. It saves some people money, best phoning up companies first to see

I couldn't complain about my insurance price though. £789 on a Nova SR when you're 17 is pretty good lol

[S9_DAN]

I saved a bit on insurance but still ended up paying to much, £1800 tpft on a 1.1 metro, sorry no rover 100 ! i feel raped when i think of that !

[Danr]

You should call around insurance companies and ask them for 2 quotes, one with pass plus and one without. AS said, some companies are a bit poo for pass plus but some offer really good rates :)

i did pass plus straight away and got insured on a rover 100 for the same money!

id definately reconmend it when you first pass though, it helped me out for the motorway driving the most.

[Robb]

took 600 off my premium, and i only did 2 of the 3 lessons...

[bbewekim]

If your planning pass plus i think you should do it soon as in the not to distant future i think they are clamping down on it... As instructors are just passing out certificates willy nilly rather than doing all of the required lessons etc.

I thought it was suposed to be 6 lessons in total... for me that would have been £120 and it would have either knocked £0.00 off my insurance or the best part of £≤50

[platty]

i want to do it as soon as i can, even with Quinn Direct who are already very cheap they can knock over £150 off for me .

Cant see why people wouldn't do it really, for most it saves you money and improves your driving skills.

[sillysammysnail]

yer left it too late :( been drivin 13 months, can't complain insurance only £406 and it wuold have cost £130 to take so i dont think it would have saved me more than i would have paid out.

was jus an idea of what my rents could get me for xmas cos they always complainin about my drivin and this would have given me bit more experience.

cheers anyway peeps for the reply

[Dean-T]

i would have done it but as you said its a little to late.

mine knocked off nearly 1000 lol i was really lucky with what discount they gave me lol i couldnt believe it when they said neqarly 1000 lol.

my face :shock:

[sillysammysnail]

ideal for ya! my mate got 1.6i escort and his insurance went down by 800 thats why i was thinkin about it! like said before though better savin for blokes than girls too

[S34MER]

its well worth it mate, especially if you do alot of motorway driving i did mine a week after my test and really enjoyed the drive to blackpool!

[Didz]

i didnt bother doin mine, being a girl car insurance is cheap enough anyway:)

[spanair]

I've done mines and I gotta say it's helped my insurance drop a fair bit, about 300 mark it was for me.

[kenny]

done nothing for my insurance at all, seemed like a waste of time on the insurance side to save money but was very useful as of the various conditions etc u learn to drive in. worth doing imo

[scotts]

I did one cost £120, dont know what its saved me on insurance but i bet it is some money lol
