London Black Cab

LONDON BLACK CAB
Performed by Labotskaya Аnna, 5th form
BRITISH TAXI, TRADITIONALLY CALLED BLACK CAB. THEY ARE KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE WORLD THANKS TO THE UNUSUAL APPEARANCE AND PHENOMENAL RELIABILITY. MOREOVER, NOWHERE, EXCEPT IN BRITAIN, DO NOT PRODUCE CARS THAT ARE USED EXCLUSIVELY AS A TAXI.
THE FIRST LONDON TAXI CAR WITH A PETROL ENGINE WAS THE FRENCH PRUNEL. ACTUALLY THE CARS INTENDED FOR CARTING WERE CALLED "TAXI" IN 1905.
BRITISH TAXI - UNUSUAL CARS IN ALL RESPECTS. LIFECYCLE PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER - 10-12 YEARS OLD, MILEAGE - 800,000 KM, AND IT IS HARD FOR CONTINUOUS OPERATION. IN REALITY, THE BRITISH CABS GO A MILLION MILES AWAY, MANY ARE MORE THAN 25 YEARS. LICENSE TO A PRIVATE CARTING IN LONDON FOR FOUR CENTURIES GIVES THE POLICE, THE TERM - THREE YEARS.
TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR CARTING IS NOT ENOUGH TO PAY A LOT OF MONEY, WE MUST ALSO ENDURE A DIFFICULT EXAM ON THE LONDON AND HIS. MOST OF LONDON'S KEBMENOV KNOW THE CITY SO WELL, THAT AND DO NOT THINK TO USE THE SERVICES OF GPS-NAVIGATOR - THEY HAVE ONLY 2-3% OF LONDON TAXIS.
