I am a taxi driver and use a D1 entitlement to drive a minibus to transport passengers. Will I need to do Driver CPC?
Yes. Driver CPC applies to all drivers responsible for the carriage of
goods or passengers for hire or reward. This includes vehicles in Cat D1
such as those with 9-16 passenger seats capable of 80km/h (50mp/h). As
an existing licence holder on the implementation date of 10th September
2008, you will not be required to undertake the initial qualification
for new drivers but you will be required to complete the 35 hours
Periodic Training requirement.
