Taxi Test Driver Training
Are you a Taxi Operator or thinking of becoming a Professional Taxi Driver? If so, you need to be aware that the DSA Taxi Test has arrived in York and Selby. Are you worried about new Health and Safety Regulation? More and more local authorities are insisting upon an assessment of driving ability before issuing a licence to trade as a taxi or private hire driver. Legislation is constantly reflecting the requirements of the people, and standards are being raised to comply with this need.
The Taxi Test is designed to promote a high level of safe driving as well as to provide a Licensing Authority with a way of fulfilling their Duty of Care to the users of taxis by ensuring that all taxi drivers have met a standard of driving which has been independently assessed.
Nationally, the average pass rate for the taxi test is only 40%. It is important
to remember that the Taxi Driving Test is not a learner driving test. The examiner
will expect a higher standard to a learner driver. You have a responsibility for
the safe transportation of fare paying customers. Kay, as a DIAmond Accredited
