Amendments to licensing restrictions: bus, coach and heavy goods vehicles

Imported from official source

To help address the issue of a shortage of available bus and coach drivers across Great Britain, we are seeking views on proposals to:

  • remove the 50km restriction if bus and coach drivers aged 18 to 20 are driving a regular service
  • allow a person to undertake the theory and off-road manoeuvres tests required to gain their driver certificate of professional competence (DCPC) before being granted a provisional bus, coach or heavy goods vehicle (HGV) driver entitlement
