No I am actual work with Satellites. We provide comms (voice & data) to companies all over the world. We mostly deal with rigs/vessesl in the North Sea. We also supply comms to africa. We have other teleports in Singapore, Sedalia, Algeria & Houston. The job is crap and that the reason for wanting to become a taxi driver.

Passed today I get 30/40 (Streets), 17/20 (Place's of Interest) & 4/5 (Routes). Got to go back & do my Highway Code & Driving (16th November)., but can't see that being a problem. Hopefully will be up and running before december.

Fit like Whizz. I have bought a Vauxhall Vectra and I am planning on going PH. I have already been approved for a PH plate & plan on sending off my money to the Council on Monday. Really glad to be passed the hardest part. So only the Highway Code & the drive to do (hope she wants to go to St Machar Cathedral). I am going over to the Taxi School @ Comm Cabs on Monday to get the info on the system etc. So you never know I might see you on the road.

I have got my Taxi Test tomorrow @ 10.30am. 3 papers
1) Twenty Streets 1 point for each street pass mark 30
2) Twenty Places of Interest - Pass Mark 15
3) Five Routes - Pass Mark 3

Then I will come back and do
4) Twenty Highway Code - Pass Mark 15
5) Take the Taxi Inspector for a Drive

So hopefully I will be a Taxi Driver within the next few days. I have got my plate sorted all I need to do is pass the test. Keep you all posted.

why do u think that there are so many miniscab drivers in london because they cant do the k cant drive brainless and they cant over charge


Call that a test??? :roll:

Then again its ten times more than you have to do to become a Minicab driver in London.

It goes something like, 'can you stand up?'

Here's your permit.
