if you want to keep your C1 and D1, you need to sort out medicals and stuff.I know I have to do something with DVLA but what?
If you need D1 then you would have to go for medical/renewal same as C1. If its over 30 years old then no you are goo with car licenseIf the coach privanal is on your license can you keep it when over 70 yoa?
I am talking about retaining the D1 same as the C1 though.With standard car License the bus has to be 30 years or older and no more than 8 passengers
D1 is limited to 7.5t, always take .gov pages with a pinch of salt as vital info is often missing.I am talking about retaining the D1 same as the C1 though.
With a D1 it looks like not restricted to any weight or length on a bus as long as it has no more than 16 seats.
where is that detailed? the only info on weight listed for Minibuses is for D1ED1 is limited to 7.5t, always take .gov pages with a pinch of salt as vital info is often missing.
So you believe the D1 has no weight limit, great I can drive a 1000tonne bus, or you could Google the question. As I stated .gov is riddled with mistakes I have had to point mistakes to them, this has sometimes resulted in them correcting the mistakes.where is that detailed? the only info on weight listed for Minibuses is for D1E
"Vehicles with no more than 16 passenger seats and driver and with a maximum length not exceeding 8 metres with a trailer over 750 kg, provided that the Maximum Authorised Mass (MAM) of the combination formed does not exceed 12,000 kg"
and even that 12,000Kg does not apply as have endorcement 119 - "Weight limit does not apply"
So if THAT is what is stated in the "Vehicles you can drive" information on the government website documenting driver and vehicle info , why should I not believe it is correct? should I believe a comment from a internet forum that gives no proof to contradictory information instead?
What I am saying is you are pointing out to me - and to lots of others it seems - that there are mistakes, but not bothering to say what the correct info is and your source of data.So you believe the D1 has no weight limit, great I can drive a 1000tonne bus, or you could Google the question. As I stated .gov is riddled with mistakes I have had to point mistakes to them, this has sometimes resulted in them correcting the mistakes.
OK 640tonnesPS, you couldn't drive a 1000t bus as that is above the maximum weight for UK roads. try again with a another silly answer.
probably 44 tonnes from memory. I'd have to check the govt. website to check.OK 640tonnes![]()
