Hi,

I am cab driver from Somalia. I have recently moved to London to become black cab driver. I am finding "The Knowledge" very difficult. It is unfair for people like me who are new to the country and can navigate the city perfectly well with TomTom. Is there a special knowledge test for foreign taxi drivers who have been in London for less than one year, but have GPS device?

Thank you, Insha' Allah

Yes. It's called private hire.
