Delivery/Collection of Minibuses

The BVRLA's legal services team has received a number of queries from its members regarding the driving licence entitlement for drivers engaged in the collection and delivery of minibuses.

The D1 entitlement appears automatically on driving licences issued before 1997, but drivers with licences issued subsequently must pass a specific test. Failure to comply exposes its members to the risk of the vehicle being impounded immediately. In addition, the driver faces up to six penalty points and a fine of up to £5,000.
