Hackney carriage specific. Standard mini cabs don't have to know where they are going (like most of them around here don't even know what town they are in!)

Well it all depends on what county in the uk you are living,because here in basingstoke,hampshire,hackney carriage and private hire licensed cab drivers req to take a knowledge test to get your badge.

You can get two different types of license. A green and pure iirc. Hackney carriage and local licence respectively. The hackney carriage allows you to pickup fares within London. The local licence only allows you to drop of within London, not pick up.
Local licence requires no testing. Just the paperwork filled out. I have a friend doing the knowledge y'see

Well i beg to differ,because here the council req,hackney carriage and private hire licensed taxi drivers to undertake a knowledge test so you are able to get your badge from the council,plus also i have archived this a few years ago myself

Ok....they "test" wasn't mentioned, and isn't on the forms i got....only thing that's pi55ing me is it's £80 for a first yr private hire but no refund if it's declined...bastards
