Question:
Legally how many people can you transport of the company to building site, etc with a bakkie if the driver have a PDP licence?
Answer:
It depends on the size of the vehicle.
The vehicle may not be overloaded over the Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) and the provisions of regulation 247 apply. You will find the GVM on the licence disc or on the plate inside the left-hand door.
Reg 247. Circumstances under which persons may be carried on goods vehicle
No person shall operate on a public road a goods vehicle conveying persons unless that portion of the vehicle in which such persons are being conveyed is enclosed to a height of—
(a) at least 350 millimetres above the surface upon which such person is seated; or
(b) at least 900 millimetres above the surface on which such person is standing,
in a manner and with a material of sufficient strength to prevent such person from falling from such vehicle when it is in motion.
Provided that no person shall be conveyed in the goods compartment together with any tools or goods, except their personal effects, unless that portion in which such persons are being conveyed is separated by means of a partition, from the portion in which such goods are being conveyed.
