I can advise on the Driving Licence requirements to drive the vehicles you
operate.
Minibuses 9-16 passenger seats (Commercial) Category D1
No restriction code on licence
Minibuses 9-16 passenger seats (Non-commercial) Category D1
May have restriction code 101 (not for hire and reward)
Driving 9-16 passenger seat minibuses can be a complex issue with regards to Driving
Licence requirements.
Drivers who passed their car test before 1 January 1997 are most likely to hold
a Driving Licence which includes Category D1 as well Category B entitlement. (Group A on old style UK pre-EU Driving
Licences - all cars and non-commercial minibuses)
Drivers who passed their car test from 1 January 1997 onwards are very unlikely
to hold a Category D1 entitlement unless they have taken a further Driving Standards Agency (DSA) Driving Test for that category
of vehicle.
Only in limited circumstances may drivers be able to drive minibuses without a
Category D1 entitlement.
Overseas Licences
To be added.
