A new Exam for Uber drivers
means they must pay £180 to do it.
He failed as was not able to answer space planet
information.


Hasan will take his test once more
if he failed it , again
He will no longer drive for Uber.

He said he speaks good enough for his job.
as he has been in England for 25 years
I would use his cab.


The black cabs are not doing this test.


I feel its sad if he can no longer work for Uber
he looks more honest to me.

Because they are not part of that Old system
or old cabs.


They "Uber" are cheaper and faster
using Live Sat Nav on their Phones.
All Legal.

Oh yeah I mean God forbid I'm not able to have the following forced conversation with my taxi driver:

'So, you been busy then?'

'Yeah not too bad'

'What time do you think you'll finish?'

'Think I'll stay out until about midnight, probably stop for dinner in between'

'Ah fair mate'

'...'

A lady called into LBC today, her husband took ill and he did NOT want an ambulance, her pal called a cab firm and they came ok, after 20 mins into what should have been a 20 min journey she realised he was going the wrong way, the husband was getting very agitated, she tried to speak top the driver who could not understand her - he arrived at the totally wrong hospital that could not treat him. she got their in 40 mins after writing down in capitals and sticking it under the drivers nose. The husband died a few months later.

EVERY driver should speak English, driving a car is a serious business as is being responsible for a life of a child a women or your family member

Well as devastating as that is, for the most part it shouldn't be a problem with Uber because they are following a Sat Nav. You literally input the destination yourself

Jesus... I mean I've had some cab drivers take a longer route to try to get extra money but that's pretty extreme.
