Taxi legislation: the rules you must know for knowledge test 2

Taximeter, comparison price, reporting centre and permits – the heart of the legislation part that most people fail.
Why legislation is the focus of test 2
Test 2 has 46 questions with at least 34 correct to pass, split evenly between taxi legislation and general traffic legislation. It is the test most people fail, because the answers rest on exact rules that must be memorised rather than on common sense. The key is to learn the recurring concepts properly instead of guessing from what feels reasonable.
Taximeter, price information and comparison price
The main rule is that a taxi must have an approved taximeter and that the price must be clear to the passenger before the trip begins. If the highest comparison price exceeds a set level, the taxi must also display a special price-information sticker (comparison price) clearly on the window, so the customer can compare prices between cars. These consumer-protection rules are typical test 2 questions.
Reporting centre and control
The taximeter's data must be transferred to an approved reporting centre for taxi traffic, which makes trips traceable for the Tax Agency and counters illegal taxi work. The driver is responsible for using the taximeter correctly during the shift. Questions about what must be recorded and why the data is collected come up often.
Permits, plates and licence
Distinguish between the taxi traffic permit, which applies to the company running the taxi business, and the taxi driver licence, which applies to you as a driver. A taxi has yellow registration plates, and your licence must be placed clearly visible in the vehicle with the photo side toward the passenger. Keeping these concepts apart is an easy point many still lose.
