Pass the SPSV Driver Entry Test

Applying for a taxi, hackney or limousine driver licence in Ireland? You must pass the SPSV Driver Entry Test. This book teaches the Industry Knowledge rules behind the questions, shows you an Area Knowledge method for any county, then lets you practise until the real test feels familiar.

The rules come from the Taxi Regulation Act 2013 and the regulations made under it. The book explains who regulates what, how to get and keep your licence, taxis, hackneys and limousines, the national maximum fare and the meter, extras and card payments, passengers with disabilities, professional conduct, and offences, fixed payments and demerits. It is written in plain English for drivers who read English as a second language and who revise on a phone.

What is inside:

- 14 short chapters, from how the test works to exam technique
- Area Knowledge method for any county: twelve families of places, a layered map, route practice, one-way streets and an eight-week plan (the book does not teach the streets of any one county)
- 20 worked scenarios and 30 priced journeys with explained answers
- 3 appendices: fare tables, revision sheets and a plain-English word list
- 600 original practice questions, every one with the correct answer and a short explanation, including 4 mock Industry Knowledge tests of 50 questions each

Every rule is tied to its source. Where a point could not be confirmed, the book says so and tells you to check with the NTA. Fees, fares and fines change, so check the date on every figure.

All questions are original. This is an independent study guide: it is not published, endorsed or approved by the National Transport Authority, and it does not contain real test questions. This book is not affiliated with the National Transport Authority.

How this book was made: written with the help of artificial intelligence tools, under the author's direction; every question was checked against its source.
