Anyone wanting to be a taxi driver in Eastbourne must take a practical driving test.
Taxi Driver Training Eastbourne
The test is similar to a beginners test but to a much higher standard, the test lasts for approx 40 – 45mins and includes 2 manoeuvres including the taxi manoeuvre. You must complete the test with 9 faults or less ( this is harder than it sounds ).
It is strongly recommended that you take professional tuition.
