So why test at all then?

Well so that we know they meet the standard at the time of taking it. As is the case for most other tests.

Of course a case can be made for keeping folks up to standard, and the DSA taxi test is a prime example. :wink:

The analogy isn't exact, but presumably the Dundee rule stops unprepared people taking the test continuously and just wasting everyone's time and effectively playing the system.

Surely if the council made a charge for the knowlegde test only, then drivers should be able to take as many as they like. :-$


Yes, it depends on whether the applicants are being charge extra for each extra test or not.

Just for some information, no one at the Cab Office who actually compiles the topo tests has the relevant qualifications to test anyone on the knowledge i.e. no topo knowledge themselves.



Surprised, you shouldn’t be!
