CHARNWOOD HACKNEY KNOWLEDGE TEST
NOTES
1.
Get to know where all the streets on the attached index are situated. You
will be tested on 30, selected at random, from the Loughborough Street
Index, and 10 from the Towns, Villages, and Places of Interest.
2.
The test is conducted verbally. You will not be permitted to ask questions
on the location of a street, i.e. “is that up Ashby Road?”. You will not be
allowed to refer to notes, or a map. You will be required to describe the
shortest route, between two points (a ‘pick-up and a destination), in clear,
concise terms.
3.
If you fail the test you will not be allowed to re-sit another test within 14
days.
4.
The pass rate is 80% on each part of the test ( 8/10 in Part 1, and 24/30
in Part 2).
5.
One hour and a half is allowed for the test.
6.
The fee for the first test will be £15.00. If the applicant fails the first
test, each subsequent test will attract a further fee of £15.00.
7.
When the applicant passes the Knowledge Test, a Hackney Carriage badge
will need to be issued. The fee for this badge will be £10.00.
8.
If an applicant fails to appear for a booked test, without “good reason”,
they shall be liable to pay a ‘Cancellation’ fee of £10.00.
