Be part time taxi driver


Can I take the taxi entry exam, do all the necessary checks first then hold the license and not drive till a later time?
Or is there a rule that once you acquire your license you must be on the road?

Part time cabby has fixed driving schedule which means regular income every time.

Yes, u can pass the TVL first and hold the license. License renew every 3 years and you will need to attend every six years refresher course.

This is precisely the reason why only some have the determination, perseverance and patience to stay on as a freelance photographer.
