Which class of licence is required to drive an ambulance or a bus with seating for up to 24 passengers, not including a school-purposes bus?
- Class A
- Class F or higher ✓
- Class B or higher
- Class C or higher
Answer: B. Class F or higher
The licence class required for an ambulance or a regular bus seating up to 24 passengers is Class F or higher.
Why this is the answer
The Class F legislation says a Class F licence lets you drive a regular bus with a maximum 24-passenger capacity and ambulances, and it also lets you drive Class G vehicles. The question describes exactly those vehicles, so the required class is Class F or higher. The other passages deal with other licence classes, such as Class B for school-purposes buses and Class D, which the handbook says does not permit driving a bus carrying passengers.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Class A — The passages do not name Class A for regular buses or ambulances; they assign those vehicles to Class F.
- C. Class B or higher — The Class B passage ties Class B to school-purposes buses, while the vehicle-specific rule for regular buses up to 24 passengers and ambulances is Class F.
- D. Class C or higher — The passages do not list Class C for regular buses or ambulances, and the Class F passage is the one that specifically covers those vehicles.
Remember it
For a regular bus up to 24 seats or an ambulance, think F; keep B in mind for school-purpose buses.
