It's famously difficult to become a black cab driver in London. You need to know every road in the city to pass "The Knowledge" test. Well beside public safety health tests.

And I'm glad of it! There's little more frustrating in a taxi than finding out the driver's stupidly and witlessly following whatever Map application they have suction-cupped to their windscreen, rather than using actual knowledge to go smarter, quicker routes.

Especially when they start off the wrong way or take a wrong turn and their map app dutifully encourages them around some longer path.
