Questions
Can I drive a bus with MR?
You can drive a medium rigid bus, but carrying paying passengers needs a separate bus driver authority.
Is MR worth it or should I go straight to HR?
If you've held your car licence for 2 years, HR covers everything MR does and more. Under 2 years, MR gets you working now.
