I'm going to start training for my UK Category D licence this summer!
Hi everyone! I've finally made the decision to learn to drive a bus/coach/PCV! It's been a difficult decision as I have wanted to think about my plan for the future with my Cat D licence once I am fully qualified, but I have made a decision, and I think it's finally time I get behind the wheel of a PCV and serve the community for a bit. I will be learning in a coach, but from what I've heard there shouldn't be too much difference between driving a coach and a bus, just getting used to each vehicle I guess. I have my PCV multiple choice and hazard perception booked in for a month's time, and once fully qualified, I am planning to get a part time driving job alongside studies to make a little extra money for myself. The reason I put the Question flair on this post was because I wanted to ask if there's any little quirks that I may encounter doing PCV training in a coach then potentially transitioning to a bus when I get a driving job, and if there's anything I should expect specifically looking for a part time driving job to accommodate my studies instead of full time? If you're a driver already - especially having done part time driving - have you got any advice for me going into this? Thank you to anyone who upvotes or replies to this post, and I can't wait to join the bus driving crew!
