Combine vehicle control with passenger duty of care

PCV drivers must manage a large vehicle while protecting standing, seated and vulnerable passengers throughout the journey.

1

Passenger safety

Consider boarding, mobility needs, standing passengers, luggage and emergencies before moving away or choosing how firmly to brake.

2

Stops and manoeuvres

Use mirrors and blind-area checks around bus stops, cyclists and pedestrians, and account for body overhang and tail swing in tight spaces.

3

Checks and service

Link doors, accessibility equipment, tyres, lights and daily checks to the decision to continue, report a defect or remove the vehicle from service.
