Taxi Drivers
The rules for taxi drivers is slightly different to those of bus and lorry drivers. The recomendation from goverment is that a taxi driver must meet the same standards as those of bus and lorry drivers. The local authority (council) determines what the medical consists of and who can do it so please check with your local authority to make sure that any registered doctor can perform the medical and not just your GP.
