HELP!!!!!!!!! I am considering starting up my own business doing airport runs I've been in touch with the DVLA and council I have been told I have to undertake a knowledge test even though I wont be doing taxi runs in Sheffield purely airport runs is it difficult looking through the A-Z looks a nightmare, how can you remember all the streets? Any taxi drivers out there who can give me any tips on this test thanks! :help: :thumbsup:

Hi Dave,

there's no substitute for having a go, so here goes...

"I want picking up from Union Road @ Nether Edge and dropping at the airport..."

What route would you take me on?

If everyone on the forum gave you a 'route' - you'd pick it up in no time!

Well done for deciding to start your own business...

If you want more routes let us all know!

Matt

PS Dave, there are many tricks people use to help memorise things, have a search on the web but don't forget, the human brain is pretty good at learning these things subconciously anyway - I find that by doing a route a few times I get pictures in my head.

For example, I know that to get to Meadowhall from Nether Edge I want to aim for Queens Road (big B&Q) via Abbeydale Rd (big arterial roads are easy to remember) -> then the ring road past the Station (obvious landmark) -> Park Square (obvious landmark again) -> Wicker Arch via the new link road at Victoria Quays then follow the signs to Meadowhall.

I can't remember every road name, junction and turn but my mind has a loose plan. A lot of it happens subconciously I think.
