Category D
This represents either a coach or bus with more than 8 seats. It’s worth noting that with a category D licence, a trailer may be towed. However, as with the general rule for trailers, this cannot exceed 750 KG Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW.) If you want to tow a trailer in excess of 750 KG GVW, you will need to obtain the D+E licence entitlement.
Category D1
This represents a small passenger carrying vehicle (minibus) with a minimum of 8 passenger seats and not more than 16 passenger seats. The same rule applies (as with D entitlement) for trailers. To tow a trailer over 750 KG GVW (with a D1 licence), candidates must obtain the D1+E entitlement.
