Please Note:

MiDAS training is designed to make people aware of their responsibilities and the problems they could face whilst driving a larger vehicle with up to 16 passengers. The Organisation needs to be aware of what their members of staff and/or volunteers can and cannot legally drive.

It is the driver’s responsibility to know what they can and cannot legally drive, & to check in advance of attending a Minibus Driver Awareness Scheme (MiDAS) training course that their driving licence makes them eligible to drive a minibus, & how does this impact on the organisation’s insurance policy? e.g.

·  Are there any penalty points and/or disqualifications?

·  Is the driver aged under 21 or 70 & above?

·  Are there any medical restrictions imposed on their licence;

If a driver does have any driving licence anomalies, this could impact on our insurance policy and the availability of using a suitable minibus to do the driving assessment in.

Organisations should also be aware of the restrictions imposed on any of their staff or volunteers who may be a ‘non D1 driver’ i.e. people who passed their driving test after 1st January 1997.

Non D1 licenced drivers may drive a minibus in UK only but ALL these conditions apply:

a.  21 or over

b.  Held full UK driving licence for 2 years

c.  Driving on voluntary basis

d.  Minibus used by not-for-profit organisation

e.  Minibus max weight (MAM or GVW) no more than 3.5 tonnes (4.25 if accessible)

f.  Must not tow a trailer

g.  Age 70 must pass full ‘PCV’ medical to renew this entitlement.
