As well as information to help you reach the safe standard you’ll need to pass your practical driving test, there is a section containing the content you would learn for the PassPlus course. Passplus consists of 6 categories of driving, of which you may have had limited experience leading up to your practical:

Town Driving
All Weather Driving
