 Can I or can I not drive a D1 Minibus?

  • The law relating to the driving of a D1 minibus is quite complex and can be confusing. We have tried to simplify it but please visit www.gov.uk/driving-a-minibus for a more comprehensive explanation.
  • If you passed your test before 1st January 1997 you already hold the Category D1 minibus entitlement but with the 101 restriction of ‘not for hire or reward’. You will have to take D1 driving lessons to have that restriction removed so you can earn money by driving a D1 minibus.

NOTE
Hire or reward encompasses any payment in cash or kind (or on behalf of) passengers which gives them a right to be carried.

D1+E

If you wish to pull a trailer behind the minibus, you must first complete the D1 test before you are allowed to train and test for the D1+E category.

If you passed your test after 1st January 1997 you do not have the Category D1 Minibus entitlement on your licence and you cannot drive a minibus

However, you may drive a minibus if:

  • you drive for a non-commercial body but not for hire or reward
  •  you are over 21
  •  have held a car licence for 2 years
  •  are providing your service on a voluntary basis
  •  the minibus is under 3.5 tonnes

What do I do?

  • Call NDC for all the forms you need for your D1 Minibus licence application
  • You will need to have a PCV Drivers’ Medical with a doctor to say that you are fit and well to drive a D1 Minibus.
  • Apply to DVLA for the D1 Provisional Entitlement which allows you to drive a minibus as a learner. You can now have your D1 Minibus lessons
  • Attend the National Driving Centre for your FREE D1 Minibus Assessment
  • CPC Module 2 plus multiple choice/hazard perception tests are all booked for you on the same day at the local theory test centre.
  • Receive the dates for your four day D1 Minibus Training.
  • Your practical test is on the last day with your module 4 test incorporated during the week.
  • If you have already passed some theory tests then we will deduct that amount from your course fee.

Your ‘All Inclusive’ PCV D1 Minibus Training is for a full 4 days testing from our own approved DVSA test centre in Croydon.
