Tips for driving a Minibus

Do not talk with you passengers unless to warn them that for safety reasons you are unable to talk as you need to concentrate on the road.

Keep your distance – You can’t crash into air, keep the space between your minibus and other vehicles

Don’t allow alcohol to be consumed on the bus, when people have a few drinks they often get noisy , this alone can be a distraction for a driver even if they are not engaging in conversation with you.

Do not take corners at speed – Minibuses can hold up to 17 passenger seats and this extra weight can make the minibus more unstable than other vehicles.

When you park the Bus park it well-lit area, away from other vehicles but in view of people walking past.

Anticipate – take note of other road users and give yourself plenty of time to negotiate your way around tight roads, remember minibuses are larger than your normal private car.
