I think you should have 12 months of driving experience before applying for PCV, an old chap that is a coach driver told me that you you need to have 12 months minimum driving experience before applying.

For coach driving, maybe. But NX requirements is only 18 years old and no more then 6 points.

So I can apply straight away when I get my drivers license? That's a little weird, I swear I heard the Coach driver say 12 months minimum to apply.

I applied 2 weeks after passing my test, i've been in service for 2 months now

Not to worry mate the weight thing will all go tits up once you hit 35, get married, or carry on bus driving....saturated fats heaven!
P.S I'm only 5' 9'' and would love to only weigh 9st 10 in fact I'd love to be a mere 10st 10  :D Bacon sandwiches and breakfasts! too cheap and too convenient, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it
