I was looking at a couple of different sources at the minimum age you can drive certain vehicles and I noticed that category D which went from 21 to 24 in 2013 seems to be showing as 18 on one of them. Looking at the ones that state it is 24, they also refer to European requirements that set the minimum age. Has the minimum age just dropped to 18 due to the UK now being out of the EU? I believe there were arrangements previously for First and Stagecoach to allow 19 year old drivers to be trained to drive local services remaining within 50KM of the depot, but I am on about of the general age to drive full size buses privately.
I am also aware of a rule that permitted anyone 24 or over with a standard category B to drive any bus over 30 years old (or 40 since the definition of historic vehicle apparently changed), would this be affected or has it been scrapped?
