Do London cab-drivers still have to take a test, even with?

Today's satellite navigation systems available?|||Yes. The test also includes History of London|||Yes.|||Yes .. have to do the "knowledge"|||To be a black cab driver it is still a requirement to take and pass "The Knowledge" exam. This is to ensure that black cab drivers not only know where to go, but which are the best routes during rush hour and where the alternative routes are when delays occur (e.g. due to roadworks or police road closures).





Mini cab drivers in London habitually use SatNav, but this is frowned on by black cab drivers.





In my experience, black cab drivers will invariably get you where you want to go much more quickly because of their knowledge of London's roads.|||sat nav is on occasion the equivalent of a blind folded man leading an Eskimo through a dessert looking for an ice berg
