Is that in Sussex or the famous London knowledge test? How intense is the Susses one (if that's where you're doing it)

.
Sussex , Wealden to be precise, they were the easiest area to get a licence and as such a lot of people used them to get a quick licence ,now they have tightened it up and it is now one of the most stringent tests outside of city licences.

which question did you get wrong, was it this one?

Q; you pick up a Japanese tourist outside Paddington station. he wants to go to the Ritz; which route do you take him?

A; along Praed st, then onto Edgware Rd?

or
B Via the M1 and Luton?

The Knowledge: The Worlds Toughest Taxi Test.
Anyone just watch this on Channel 4, Fascinating Stuff.
I had no idea Londons Black Cab drivers had to go through all that to get a licence.

 

[louise_a]

watching it on plus 1, scarey stuff, seems like you need to have a full copy of the A to Z in your head.

Well done and good luck.

I remember helping out the local tourist board when our West of Scotland Council entertained it's first cruise ship landing.

I was in charge of the landing area, taxi's and generally pointing folk in the right direction.

'Young Man, will any of those Taxi's be willing to take me to Edinburgh' I was asked in a loud Southern American drawl.

I nearly said every one of the 40+ lined up would be absolutely flipping delighted to.

What was the answer to question 82 " do you go North of the river after 12 of clock"

Good luck in your new Job!
