What is a requirement for driving a SPAB regarding age?

To drive a School Pupil Activity Bus (SPAB), the requirement regarding age is that the driver must be at least 18 years old. This age requirement ensures that drivers have reached a certain level of maturity and responsibility that is necessary for managing the safety of passengers, particularly children.

Drivers of SPABs are entrusted with the safety of pupils and are expected to have sufficient experience in handling a vehicle, understanding traffic laws, and ensuring a safe environment for their passengers. The choice of 18 as the minimum age reflects a legal standard recognized in many states, where individuals are considered adults capable of taking on such responsibilities.
