Teen becomes Britain's youngest bus driver after passing test with no minors

Britain's youngest bus driver is taking to the roads at just 18-years-old after he successfully passed his test with no faults. Luke Brown is now a qualified bus driver for National Express after his dad, Stuart who's worked as a bus driver at the company for 20 years inspired him to follow in his footsteps.

According to a driver training officer at National Express Coventry, hundreds of people sit their exam each year and only around two or three of them pass with no minors, the Liverpool ECHO reports. After completing his driver training, the teen was one of those few who achieved a first time pass on his Passenger Carrying Vehicle (PCV) licence and with no faults.

Luke said working alongside his father will be one of the best aspects of his new career, along with helping people get around. A full-time driver can earn £28,5000 a year and even more with overtime.
