you have training for articulated vehicles? Wow! In Wroclaw - you see on paper number of vehicle and you drive. No one care if you have never driven articulated bus. My debut was from bus-stop (drivers are changing on route) with passengers.
Nowadays, when most of the buses have their engines located in B-section, you can no longer treat this section as a trailer. So, as a result, you don’t have to pass any additional exams to drive articulated buses in Poland :] in the past you had to pass D exam for buses and additional E exam for trailers.
Legaly, in Portugal (regarding European laws) you can drive a articulated bus only with D. But usually, the companies don't let anyone drive them without at least a day or two to know this buses dimensions.
@ Artur, Volvo's have engine in the first body, so it used to be considerated as an veichle with D exam and for an example, a MB O405G only with E exam, since the engine is on the second body?? :|
D+E is on used for something like this: http://www.phototrans.eu/14,43817,0.html or switzerland passenger trailers. Not for articulated buses. All these buses are coupled vehicles (in polish pojazd członowy) because it is normal to disconnect section A from section B
