The Licensing and Regulatory Committee has a historic policy that an ‘innervision’ or ‘contravision’ style sign or product of the same or similar type be positioned at the bottom or top of the rear windscreen identifying the booking office to which the licensed private hire car belongs - name and telephone number. This can be known as the “back flash”.

The Licensing Section is aware from the Council’s Taxi and Private Hire Enforcement Officers that they have received several complaints regarding private hire car back flashes. These complaints have raised concerns that the back flash makes rear visibility poor for drivers, some back flashes are of poor quality and some back flashes no longer remain affixed to private hire car rear windscreens.

On 1 March 2023 the Licensing and Regulatory Committee agreed for the Director of Legal and Administration to carry out a review of the back flash policy for private hire cars, by way of a consultation, and to report back accordingly with the findings of the review.

In Glasgow any individual who intends to apply for a Taxi Driver's Licence must first sit and pass a Topographical Test of Knowledge “Topographical Test”. The Topographical Test has been a requirement for a Taxi Driver’s Licence for many years.

Please note that it is not a requirement for a Private Hire Car Driver Licence.

The Topographical Test aims to ensure that all Taxi Drivers have a knowledge of the city, including the layout of its roads and the location of landmarks.

The format of the Topographical Test is 100 multiple choice questions and an applicant must obtain a pass mark of 70% to pass the test. The Topographical Test is undertaken in person, by the Licensing Authority.

On 1 March 2023 the Licensing and Regulatory Committee agreed for the Director of Legal and Administration to carry out a review of the requirement for all applicants who wish to apply for a Taxi Driver’s Licence to sit and pass a Topographical Test, by way of a consultation. The findings of the review will be reported back to the Committee.
