Hello. Just a bit of advice.
I've just failed my legal paper on the taxi exam on 2 questions.
1. The 2 yellow stripes on the curb for no loading or un - loading. Can you drop off/pick up customers.
2. Who can drive a taxi for social domestic and pleasure.
Cheers lee

Only licensed drivers covered on the insurance can drive a licensed vehicle for any reason. The answer to the first question is the opposite to what you put and got wrong :wink:

It says: You may stop while passengers board or alight.
