    If you passed your test before Jan 1st 1997, then you should hold that entitlement on your licence, if you passed after that date, you'll have to take a seperate test.
    I think this is the case (I'm sure if it's not, someone will let me know).
    Women priests. Great. Now there's priests of both sexes I don't listen to - Bill Hicks.

    You'll have all the 'legal' answers from DVLA, but if you're not used to such a large vehicle, do make sure you have a few miles in it, before you decide to load it with screaming kids/rowdy teenagers/drunken grannies, or whoever you're carrying!!

    You'll soon get used to its size, but better safe than sorry!!

    I depends on the number of seats. If it has not more than 8 seats (not including the driver) then yes you can. If it has 9-16 seats then you would need class D1 or D.
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.
