What age do you have to be to drive a van?
I’m in the process of hiring a 17 year old apprentice and want him to drive my Ford Transit from time to time. Can he do this, or are there age limits for van drivers?

There’s no age limit on vans (Category B) up to 3500kg. so 17 is fine as long as he's got a full driving licence. Cat B covers most of the vans out there, including the big ones, like Ford Transit and Mercedes Sprinter.
