When taking a Mini Bus Test, Should i use a bus lane if its in operational hours?

I am unsure if a driving test examiner will expect me to use a bus lane (if i come across one) during its operational times during my forthcoming mini bus test (16 seat vehicle) or, if indeed this vehicle type is allowed in there at those times. Any help appreciated.|||It's been 7 years since I took a minibus test, but at that time it was certainly OK to use a bus lane.





The link below suggests "Bus lanes. You can drive our minibus in a bus lane unless the word local appears in the bus symbol."

EDIT: Apologies that I couldn't try to help with your question, without attracting the moron element and their 'little jokes'.





Once again, Redmonk displays the 'chip on his shoulder' about anyone with an education.





In schools, it's useful for as many people as possible, from headteacher to caretaker to have a minibus qualification.





But since a prerequsite for the minibus test is to be able to remove your head from your own backside, to be able to see through the windscreen, this might make life difficult for Redmonk.





MORE EDIT: Was that your best response?? Pitiful!|||So at last we find out what Sceptic does for a living, well he said he worked in the public sector but we didn't believe him did we?, now we find out he is a mini bus driver for schools (he said he was in education in a previous question) 'bly me' I didn't know you needed a physics degree for that.





Hey, Scep now that its out don't start getting depressed.





Oh! after hearing Sceps heart opening up to you, I forgot that you had actually asked a question. Scep is right (not that I really know the answer to your question) but because he takes his job as a mini bus driver seriously. I mean would you go and get your self a physics degree to be a bus driver. Man that's dedication for you.

Edit Sceptic:





You fibber, ''But since a prerequsite for the minibus test is to be able to remove your head from from your own backside'' when have you ever been able to do that?
