Question
What action is the Welsh Government taking to ensure that the Pass Plus Cymru course is available to residents of all local authorities in Wales?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Transport (Mark Hooper)
The Welsh Government continues to support the delivery of Pass Plus Cymru as part of its wider road safety activity. Funding is made available to local authorities through the Corporate Joint Committees, and it is for them to decide what initiatives are offered in each local authority. A wide range of road safety education and training initiatives are delivered across Wales and some authorities chose to offer Pass Plus Cymru.
Where a course is not immediately available in a particular authority area, residents can contact their local road safety team to seek advice on the nearest available provision.
We encourage consistent access to post-test driver training opportunities across Wales, particularly for newly qualified drivers who may benefit from additional support. This sits alongside our wider commitment to reducing road casualties and road-related harm through the Road Safety Partnership Plan and the Safe System approach.
