Q1. Who is the licensing authority responsible for issuing Hackney Carriage and Private Hire driver licences in Leeds?

A. Leeds City Council
B. West Yorkshire Combined Authority
C. Leeds Bradford Airport Authority
D. The Department for Transport

Show answer & explanation

✓ Answer: A. Leeds City Council

Leeds City Council's Licensing Service administers and enforces Hackney Carriage and Private Hire driver, vehicle and operator licences within the Leeds district. West Yorkshire Combined Authority deals with transport strategy, not driver licensing. The Department for Transport sets national guidance but does not issue individual licences.

Q2. Under Leeds City Council's taxi and private hire licensing policy, on what basis must drivers' enhanced DBS checks be monitored?

A. Continuously, via enrolment on the DBS Update Service throughout the licence period
B. A one-off check at first application only, with no further checks required
C. Renewal every three years alongside the driver's licence renewal
D. A check every five years unless a complaint is received

Show answer & explanation

✓ Answer: A. Continuously, via enrolment on the DBS Update Service throughout the licence period

Leeds City Council requires drivers to be enrolled on the DBS Update Service so their status is monitored continuously, not just at renewal. This lets the council pick up new convictions or cautions promptly. A one-off or five-yearly check would leave a long safeguarding gap.

Q3. Which motorway junction area is most associated with heavy traffic congestion feeding into south Leeds, often called the 'Spaghetti Junction of the north'?

A. M621/M1 interchange near Hunslet
B. M62 junction 27 near Gildersome
C. A1(M) junction near Wetherby
D. M1 junction 44 near Lofthouse

Show answer & explanation

✓ Answer: A. M621/M1 interchange near Hunslet

The M621/M1 interchange near Hunslet is notorious locally for congestion and its complex layout, feeding traffic into south Leeds and the city centre. The other locations are further out and less central to city-centre taxi work.
