It's famously difficult to become a black cab driver in London. You need to know every road in the city to pass "The Knowledge" test. Well beside public safety

It's famously difficult to become a black cab driver in London. You need to know every road in the city to pass "The Knowledge" test. Well beside public safety health tests.

There's little more frustrating in a taxi than finding out the driver's stupidly and witlessly following whatever Map application they have suction-cupped to their windscreen, rather than using actual knowledge to go smarter, quicker routes. Especially when they start off the wrong way or take a wrong turn and their map app dutifully encourages them around some longer path.
