Aspiring black cab drivers have to learn 320 routes through London, including all the junctions and significant landmarks. To earn their licence, they have to be able to recite a route between any two paces in London without pause or hesitation. It takes, on average, 34-months (nearly 3 years), to prepare for the final test, which is so difficult, it generally takes 12 attempts to pass.
To learn "the knowledge", trainees ride the routes on scooters. They are a fairly frequent sight on the roads as they wear high-visibility jackets and have a large-format map on a clipboard over the handlebars.
