What does a D1 category licence allow you to drive?

Revision material from the imported DVSA bank includes source-checked Lanekind learning corrections. These corrections are not newly issued official examination questions, and practice does not reproduce a live test paper.

Answer options

Buses with a maximum of 16 passenger seats

Buses with a maximum of 24 passenger seats

Buses with a maximum of 32 passenger seats

Buses with a maximum of 48 passenger seats

Show the answer

Buses with a maximum of 16 passenger seatsThis was the right answer

D1 permits up to 16 passenger seats and a maximum vehicle length of 8 metres. Check restriction codes on your licence; D1 does not automatically authorise every holder to drive for hire or reward. Professional qualification requirements are separate.
