Minibus Travel in the EU

[concerned190]

What are the current license laws concerning taking a minibus to Europe from the UK?

15 of us are considering taking a trip to mainland Europe in the Summer and one of the lads has voluntered to drive us in a minibus. However we are not clear on what the law is with regards to him driving.

He is over 21 and held a UK license for over 2 years. He would not be driving for reward or profit or for comercial purposes - just a lads jolly up really!

Advice would be much appreciated!

He might not be able to do it. Check dates etc.
