Private hire and black cab drivers across Wolverhampton have staged a protest in the University of Wolverhampton Science Park on Glaisher Drive on March 3 to oppose changes that would mean some of them would have to take their tests again. 

The rule change means that taxi drivers nationwide who took their tests before 2019 would need to go through a new application process each year. 

Now, around 100 drivers met in protest in the science building car park to show solidarity at the opposition of the proposed rule change.
