London Taxi drivers know the capital like the back of their hands.No matter how small and indistinct the street is,the driver will be able to get you there without any trouble.(1)_______________________.During this period which can take from two to four years,the wouldbe taxi driver has to learn the most direct route to every single road and to every important building in London.To achieve this most learners go around the city on small motor bikes practicing how to move to and from different points of the city.(2)_______________________. Their exams are a terrible experience. The officers ask you:“How do you get from Buckingham Palace to the Tower of London?”And you have to take them there in a direct line.When you get to the tower,they won't say“Well done”.They will quickly move on to the next question.After five or six questions they would just say:“See you in two months' time.”And then you know the exam is over.Learner drivers are not allowed to work and earn money as drivers.(3)__________________________________________.The training can cost quite a lot because learners have to pay for their own expenses on the tests and the medical exam.
