More details from petition creator

In order to rank up or tout for work as a taxi driver you need to have a green badge which means you need to have passed "the knowledge"

In central London more and more bars and clubs have ranks of private hire cars outside

this petition is to ensure that all people who have been out and spent years learning the trade aren't ripped off by minicab driver with satnavs
