Burmingham knowledge test for rental driver who is to be substituted

This test aims to gauge how well new hired car owners know that the roads of Birmingham will be substituted by a "navigation test" after Council members have approved the suggestion. Instead, new individual hired riders wishing to be licenced by Birmingham City Council must show that they can actually see a card and have a good grasp of the laws governing their profession and the terms of their driving licence.

This new test - which will supersede the "knowledge test" - is due to be launched in late summer this year, after being accepted by the License and Public Protection Committee last June 15, 2016. Under the Deregulation Act 2015, since 1 October 2015 landlords have been permitted to allocate workplaces across municipal borders to affiliated enterprises using cars and drives registered by other municipalities.

As a result, more and more rental car owners in Birmingham who do not have a Birmingham driver's license are working - making it more and more challenging to conduct a knowledge test for rental car owners in Birmingham. The Licensing and Projection Committee's ruling recognizes the driver's growing use of navigation equipment.

Barbara Dring, Chair of the Municipal Council's Licensing and Protection Committee, said: "Our knowledge test is considered one of the hardest in the area, so it is expected that the distance from the recruitment procedure will lead to more riders being admitted in Birmingham and not in other areas of the area.

It will give us more oversight over the riders who work in our town. Review of the test and increased disabilities consciousness are likely to be launched later this year. This change only applies to rentalers. Knowledge test for Hackney Carriage driver has not been modified.
