IAM Fleet, the commercial training division of the Institute of Advanced Motorists,
is offering a free guidance booklet for anyone who regularly drives a minibus for
a charitable or educational institution.
IAM Fleet says that the responsibilities
of and challenges for the many charity volunteers, scout group leaders and teachers
who drive minibuses are “grossly underestimated.” Unlike coach drivers, who take
a special driving test, minibus drivers who passed their car test before 1 January
1997 are not required to undergo any further training or tests.

The IAM Fleet booklet, entitled “Minibus Driving – Your Skill, Their Care”, provides
guidance on subjects such as legal requirements, loading, driving techniques and
hazard avoidance.

To obtain a free copy of the booklet call IAM Fleet on 0845 3108311.
