Signed and submitted my paperword to Rochford Council for hackney carriage + private hire (Rochfords are both in one) now I have to get on and learn the roads of the borough - brush up on highway code - and learn POI on routes like pubs/airports etc.... What I wanted to ask was what have any of you guys found helpful to learing what leaning methods have you used? I am born and brought up in the area I am 26 years young! So I have a very very good knoledge by sight but road names are a worry. I have been told the test is 50 odd questions and its done on computer by multipal choice split into sections where you can only get 2 wrong in 1 section or 1 wrong in each, so to pass you have to be about above 90% Any advice I would be so greatful!! Cheers guys! Scott

Not what I have been told from the 5 different drivers I have spoken too regarding this, I was not going to jump into something so lightly without doing some research Besides anything is better then being on the rock and roll!

Take no notice of the misery guts. If you want to go for it, then go for it. The harder you work, the more you will earn. Good luck.

our LA gives applicants the set start/drop points and theres only 1 main road through the town - where I dont live and never go on a fare..... get your list and study, its unlikely that its too hard

I used an A to Z. Learnt the main roads then the roads off them. Our LA provided the 75 routes that I had to learn taking the shortest distance from A to B. You could also try doing the online driving theory practice tests to help brush up on your highway code etc. Good luck anyway
