Taxi drivers need to absolve a new test which consists of 9 separate exams and costs £500. Estimated time to do the test is 2-4 months. Rarely payed by employer and an extra cost which makes driving a cab as a part time job absolutely impossible. Test is not easy and questions are aimed to be very hard to answer by people with English as a second language
It’s outrageous and no wonder there is less and less taxi drivers out there! |
