Some bus drivers may not be able to drive
minibuses on their PCV category

Some bus drivers attain their PCV category through sponsorship of their local bus company as part of their employment. However, if the vehicle used for the training and practical test was fitted with an automatic or semi-automatic transmission, any minibus with a manual transmission cannot be driven on that PCV category.

If you have a photo card licence and you passed your PCV test using a vehicle with an automatic or semi-automatic transmission, then your licence will be identified with the code "106 (6)" which denotes a restriction to vehicles with an automatic transmission within that category.

Question: Did you pass the PCV driving test in a bus with
an automatic or semi automatic transmission?
