Driving a cab may seem a simple business, but the way the cab trade in Britain is organised is by no means simple - in fact there are a lot of things people who have never worked in the trade don't understand about it. If you discover ancestors who worked in it, or you think worked in it, the trade's complex nature can make understanding the job they did, the trade itself and the rules under which they had to work, and the all the harder.
