To pass you taxi driver exam answer the following, what influences the speed at which your taxi meter charge goes up by?
Well it’s all about fuel flow and I actually know a lot about that subject, it’s just a shame my previous employer didn’t!

Hi. I’m Daniel Ricciardo. You may know me from last year’s Formula 1 season, and a good first grand prix in Melbourne. After the race, we went out and celebrated. We all had a few drinks and had a good time, and afterwards, it was time to go home. Even though I have a superlicense, I know when it’s time to leave the driving to someone else. So please everyone, let’s keep improving motor safety; don’t drink and drive. Take a cab!
