I was looking to apply for a new style driving license but have been told that some of the categories have been changed. The old categorie D1 allowed you drive a mini bus with up to 16 passengers, on the new licences this is aparently reduced to 8 without a medical. I have also been told that the towing categories have been amended.
Does anybody know if this is true or has anybody got access to the new & old style of license and could they please do a quick comparison & post the results.
Thanks
Stuart

 

Stuart, the DVLA website (dvla.gov.uk) says that you can drive a vehicle with 9-16 seats with D1 entittlement, the new license only refers you to leaflet D100 from the postoffice.
Hope this is of some help,

Chris

 

Cheers Chris, looks like no changes, someone gave me a bum steer
