pre-taxi, or rather, between taxi paltes/badges, and for 4 years covering about 1500 miles per week, ive seen only ONE testing setup, on a back road into Ledbury, full monty, cops, DSS, VOSA and HMRC in full uniform, after farmers i think, the only other testing ive seen was the french cops dipping a britsh truck at le perthus
