![Uber drivers to pass a test in English with TFL - legal challenge](https://res.cloudinary.com/the-weekly-gripe/image/fetch/https://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/AImg\uber.jpg)
Personally I think that taxi drivers operating legally in the UK should have to pass an English test. I have been in one or two in the past where the driver doesn't fully understand where I want to go and specific directions aren't always understood.
The majority of people in the UK still currently speak English so it makes sense that people working in a customer facing industry should have a firm grasp of the language. After all, you would expect someone working in a bank or a hospital who sees customers to speak and understand English wouldn't you?
