Q1. Under Sheffield City Council's licensing conditions, what is a hackney carriage licensed to do that a private hire vehicle is NOT permitted to do?
  • A.  Ply for hire by being hailed in the street or waiting at a rank without a pre-booking
  • B.  Carry more than four passengers regardless of seatbelts fitted
  • C.  Operate outside the Sheffield licensing area at any time
  • D.  Charge whatever fare the driver negotiates with the passenger
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A. Ply for hire by being hailed in the street or waiting at a rank without a pre-booking
Hackney carriages licensed by Sheffield City Council may legally ply for hire — that is, be hailed on the street or wait at a taxi rank. Private hire vehicles must be pre-booked through a licensed operator and cannot pick up passengers who simply flag them down; doing so is a criminal offence under the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976.
Q2. A Sheffield-licensed taxi driver refuses to carry a passenger's guide dog, claiming a personal allergy. What is the legal position under the Equality Act 2010?
  • A.  Refusal is lawful only if the driver has a medical exemption certificate issued by Sheffield City Council
  • B.  Refusal is unlawful unless the driver holds a valid medical exemption from the council displayed in the vehicle
  • C.  Refusal is always lawful if the driver states an allergy at the time
  • D.  Refusal is lawful because allergies are a recognised business reason
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B. Refusal is unlawful unless the driver holds a valid medical exemption from the council displayed in the vehicle
Sections 168-170 of the Equality Act 2010 make it a criminal offence to refuse an assistance dog without a valid medical exemption certificate issued by the licensing authority, which must be displayed in the vehicle. A stated allergy alone, without the formal exemption, does not make refusal lawful.
Q3. Which Supertram route terminates at Malin Bridge, on the edge of the Rivelin Valley?
  • A.  Yellow Route
  • B.  Purple Route
  • C.  Green Route
  • D.  Blue Route
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: D. Blue Route
The Blue Route runs between Malin Bridge in the north-west and Halfway in the south-east, passing through the city centre. There is no Green Route on the Supertram network, making that option a straightforward distractor.
