... LGV rather than HGV!

Subject: College 17 seater minibuses
Hi All
We have been training our
younger staff through MIDAS to enable them to drive the 17-seater minbuses.
However on investigation we find that the minibuses weigh 2.7 tonnes and this
is classed as 4.1 tonnes when loaded. MIDAS training is only valid up to a
weight limit of 3.5 tonnes.
This appears to mean that in order
for younger staff (those not old enough to have D1 on their licences) they have
to get an HGV licence in order to be able to drive the 17-seaters.
Does anyone know of any
different way of doing this?
Thanks
Vicky
