Plain-English D1 guidance

Written for learners comparing minibus, PCV, taxi, school, care and community transport requirements.

Linked to practical training

Each guide connects the rule or question to the medical, theory, practical training, 3A and 3B test pathway.

North West context

Advice is framed around learners using Wigan and Chorley depots, with arrangements confirmed around availability.

Why a medical is part of the route

Passenger-carrying vehicle licensing places more emphasis on driver fitness than ordinary car driving because of the responsibility involved in carrying passengers.

Our starter package includes medical examination support as part of the wider D1 route.

Where the package medical takes place

D1Licence.co.uk has access to Wigan and Chorley depots. Practical training and test arrangements are confirmed by our team based on availability, learner details and the next suitable booking slot.

You do not need to choose a depot when enquiring. Send your details and we will confirm the most suitable available training arrangement.
