Maybe the best solution would be to issue a licence to those exibiting the qualities of a cabby, and then re-test in 6 mths time to ensure they did indeed have the capabilities to become a good cabby.
What qualities should be required and what test would be devised to check they had the capabilities?
Clean
Reasonable knowledge
Able to speak English to a reasonable level
There's probably a few other thngs as well, but the 3 I've listed I think are most important, along with polite manner, you have to give ppl the chance to learn the area properly, nobody knows it all when they 1st apply, and at the very least pigeon English from those not native, again it will improve, but at least if you re-test in 6 mths you should be able to review if there's been any complaints and see how the driver is improving or not.
