Taxi licence holders to be have an eyesight and driving assessment every 2 years
Taxi drivers are supposed to be ''professional drivers'' where you pay to put your life in their hands.
As driving instructors are required to have an assessment every 2 years to maintain standards, HGV drivers are assessed for fitness and ability to drive, why not taxi drivers.
I am sure we all have experienced or witness some extremely ''iffy moves'' with taxi drivers. If they are required to have an assessment every 2 years the driving standard would increase.
