Q1. Under the Equality Act 2010, what must a Manchester hackney carriage or private hire driver do when a passenger is accompanied by an assistance dog?

A. Carry the dog at no extra charge unless a medical exemption certificate is held
B. Charge a standard cleaning surcharge for carrying any animal
C. Only accept the dog if it can travel in the boot
D. Refer the passenger to a different operator who accepts animals

Show answer & explanation

✓ Answer: A. Carry the dog at no extra charge unless a medical exemption certificate is held

Sections 168-170 of the Equality Act 2010 make it an offence for a licensed driver to refuse to carry an assistance dog or to charge extra for doing so, unless the driver holds a valid medical exemption certificate issued by the council. This duty overrides personal preference or a general no-animals policy.

Q2. A Manchester City Council licensed driver has a medical exemption from carrying assistance dogs due to a severe allergy. What must the driver do to lawfully rely on this exemption?

A. Simply tell the passenger verbally that they are exempt
B. Display the exemption certificate in the vehicle and provide it as issued by the council
C. Keep the exemption letter in a bag out of sight in case a passenger disputes it
D. Post the exemption on the vehicle's rear window in any wording

Show answer & explanation

✓ Answer: B. Display the exemption certificate in the vehicle and provide it as issued by the council

A medical exemption only protects a driver if it has been formally granted by the licensing authority and is displayed in the vehicle exactly as issued, so passengers and enforcement officers can verify it. A verbal claim or an undisplayed letter gives no legal protection.

Q3. Which of these areas lies north of the city centre and includes a large Orthodox Jewish community along Bury New Road?

A. Broughton Park/Salford
B. Cheetham Hill
C. Collyhurst
D. Blackley

Show answer & explanation

✓ Answer: A. Broughton Park/Salford

Broughton Park, on the Salford side of Bury New Road just north of Cheetham Hill, is home to one of the largest Orthodox Jewish communities in the UK outside London. Cheetham Hill itself, within Manchester, is more mixed and better known for its wholesale clothing trade.
