AFAIK there's no need for a certified PSV or a former PSV to have dual controls for the purpose of a driving lesson or a driving test. After all, the OP already has a driving licence and is basically going for an upgrade?


but the DSA insist it has L plates on it!

So I can take a DSA "taxi" test in a private car or a plated car, upto 8 passengers seats, if its downsized 12 or 17 seater I cant take the D1 test in the same vehicle be it plated or not 8 seats or 9....


Rules are here ... https://www.gov.uk/practical-driving-te ... ving-tests


Still confusing

Using a hire car

Hire cars can only be used in tests if they’re fitted with dual controls and meet all the other driving test vehicle rules.


I already HAVE a D1 licence (but 101) so why would a hired 17 seater need dual controls?

Where would the duel controls be fitted on a mercedes Sprinter?
