1 London taxi drivers know the capital like the hack of their hands. The reason London taxi drivers are so efficient is that they have all gone through a very long training period known as "the knowledge" to get the special needs to drive taxis.

　 　 2

3　 Once a new taxi driver has a license, the next thing he or she has to deal with is the public. Drivers agree that most passengers are very pleasant, although occasionally they can be nasty.

　 　4 But sometimes it is not only the tip that is at stake; a taxi driver's job can also be dangerous.

　 　5 To avoid situations like this, more and more drivers are joining radio taxi companies. Not all unexpected encounters are nasty ones, though. Celebrities and politicians often take taxis and this can add a bit of excitement to the lives of the drivers.

　　 London taxi drivers love to talk to people and most of them start a conversation as soon as the passenger steps into their vehicle. Colin Sinclair is unrepentant, "Why not? I enjoy talking to people and I learn from them. I've learned more from driving a taxi than I ever did at school. I' ve had people in my taxi from Russia and Australia and they' ve taught me a lot. It's fascinating."

A. When your money and life is in danger, it' s best to call for help by means of a system equipped in the car, which may be of great help in time of emergency.

B. Colin Sinclair was once attacked by a passenger who did not want to pay the fare," He grabbed my hand and said, 'I'm going to beat you up,' and then he started pushing me towards the window. luckily, I managed to reach the emergency radio, and within

　 five minutes 20 drivers had come to my aid."

C. During this period, which can take from two to four years, the would-be taxi driver has to learn, the most direct route to every single road and to every important building in London.

D. Learner drivers are not allowed to work and earn money as drivers. Therefore, many of them keep their previous jobs until they obtain their taxi-driving license. The training period can cost quite a lot, because learners have to pay for their own expenses (getting around London using private transport), the test they take and a medical exam.

E. Brian Turner once carried two princesses in his taxi without even realizing! He recalled, "They stopped me in front of the gates of Kensington Palace and kept me talking for; 20 minutes while a policeman watched. I know I had seen them in photographs but I couldn' t remember who they were. It was only after they left that I realized who they were!"

F. But as Brain Turner, 53, a taxi driver for 30 years, explains, "Your job is to take them where they want to go in a polite and pleasant manner, whatever they are like. After all, if you' re unpleasant to your passenger, you won't get a tip."
