All MOD ( RAF, RN and ARMY ) drivers - whether already with a licence or not - had to complete driver training - basically you did your normal licence, then got a metro on the skidpad, then ( if lucky or to be a copper ) you did evasive driving techniques..... then a 'navigation' exercise - which meant 30+ loonies driving like bats out of hell from one RAF base to another in MOD LandRovers in what was, basically, a glorified race! The MT (motor transport) boys did PSV etc.... and evasive driving in the buses too! So the big old buses ended up chucked all over! Surprisingly they never lacked volunteer passengers! ;D ahhhhhhhh - taxpayers money put to good use for once!  |

Hey! Less of the old! I'm a mere 28 and I can drive anything up to a 7.5 ton truck including (empty) buses! I can also leap straight into a minibus and carry people around in it.
I made sure I passed my test just before everything got restrictive. Just before the theory test too!

I'm a bus driver, and have driven a few old buses over the last few years, as far as i'm aware you can drive a bus with up to 8 passengers on a car licence as long as you're not charging them a fare.
I would love to get my hands on an old Plaxton Panorama Elite if i could find 1.
