laura Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 We are looking at getting a mini bus for our out of school club runs. I know that there are restrictions on who can drive it according to when they passed their tests. Are there any other restrictions or permits that we are going to need? information online is a bit confusing!! thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSFRebecca Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 The statutory requirements are: 3.66.Vehicles in which children are being transported, and the driver of those vehicles, must be adequately insured. If you are finding conflicting advice from different sources I woudl telephone your insurance company and ask them what they consider "adequately insured" means Good luck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narnia Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I'm not a driver,so what do I know? But I'd guess it means you must be insured to drive a minibus ( size/weight of bus)..........and business use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 At schools they used to make you take a test even if it said that you could on your driving licence (my hubby is the only one that can drive it due to this and his age!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laura Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 thanks everyone... to be honest I think i'll be driving it for my own piece of mind! it's just the thing about permits.. but looking at the info I'm pretty sure as long as you aren't charging for travel costs you don't have to have permit like taxis do! i'm waiting on a call back from a company that leases minibuses - quite exciting really!
