The answer is depending on the vehicle..as far as I know..no wheelchairs have been passed as safe to be loaded ...?

its in Northern Ireland, we have four kind of taxi plates, PH, Taxi outside 5miles of belfast, taxi and taxi bus which are london old taxis and operates on a fixed route just like buses charge £1.30 pp
once i pass the test its my choice which taxi i want to go for and on car,
the 35hour every 5 years training system is been in practice for a while for HGV /LGV Buses etc called Driver CPC and there are approved by DVA training centres. however because the taxi driving licence only started last year end they haven't got proper material or training provider for them, they ask old drivers to do them now and new drivers must pass theory and practical, and after five years if i need renew my licence i would need the 35 hours on my technocard uploaded by approved trainer


all this difference here is because the Driver and motoring agency is different than DVLA even though it works under DVLA but we have different licence saying NI and different car numbers, until last year we used to send logbooks to local DVA office now they started doing it in swansea. MOT rules are also very different and run by DVA itself, so no under the table payment pass your mot if something wrong your car

the london taxis are 20-30 year old taxis running on streets, the private hire sometimes you see the 1998 astras and nissan tinos and not a day when i dont see some driver or passenger smoking in a taxi.

I wanna know who gets paid to dream up these things and are there any vacancies in the dept?

Ive asked our LA but got blanked

just an update
passed my theory 4rth time, some of the answers were hidden in the guide some still had no clue, was 95 score out of 100, only thing i learned is u put cat in cage, on the car seat and secure it with belt. I requested the information to council under FOI act to tell me how many people actually got new licence who went through this test process, and answer came today was 3 drivers in last 9 months that exclude any renewals, for booking practical test went to testing centre and been told they looking for a new examiner so they cant give me any date but they were willing to take £60 fee, and send me a letter of appointment.
this process is for whole of Northern Ireland and once you get your licence you can use any type of taxi or PH anywhere in Northern Ireland,
after I get my licence my next worry will be insurance, as even normal car insurance is dearer than london here
