Can I drive a 9 seater minibus on a car licence UK?
Can I drive a 9 seater minibus on a car licence UK? You can drive a 9-seater minibus on a standard car licence as that size of vehicle is considered to be a 'small vehicle', adapted to carry 8 passengers or fewer, not including the driver. It is not considered to be a minibus or small bus.
Is it illegal to have 6 passengers in a 5 passenger car UK?
The law doesn't currently prevent you from carrying more adult passengers than there are seat belts. However, children up to 135cms tall must use child restraints with few exceptions, which means they must use the seats in the vehicle that have seat belts to secure their restraints. This can limit carrying capacity.
