Important Changes to Vehicle Regulations
Registration of Drivers
All drivers must be registered with the Students Union before they can take out a vehicle. Drivers wishing to be registered must come to the Central Union Offices, Cyncoed, where they will be required to fill out the relevant insurance documents. All must be over 21 preferably have been driving over three years, with no more than 5 penalty points on their licence.
To register you must bring your full driver’s licence, this must include any paper counterpart of the licence and you must ensure you have all the details of any accidents (including date and cost of damage to self/others) or convictions (date, type of conviction and any penalty points/fines). Without this information you will not be able to register.
Once the insurance form is completed we will need to then obtain authorisation from our insurance company before you will be eligible to drive one of our vehicles. This can take 3-5 days. Please ensure you are registering allowing enough time before you require the vehicle.
Once the application has been approved you will be issued with a Driver’s Card. This card must be produced EVERY TIME you collect keys for the vehicles. We are unable to issue keys if the Driver’s Card is not produced.
In addition all drivers will be required to sign a Drivers Agreement form, stating that they will abide to the terms and conditions of these Minibus Regulations.
All Drivers need to RE-REGISTER even if you have driven Minibuses in previous years.
