The campaign will pay particular attention to infringements such as:

Providing service with driver’s licence withdrawn, or without the mandatory insurance policy.
Driving with levels of alcohol in the blood higher than permitted, with drugs detected in the body and refusing to take the corresponding tests.
Not having an up-to-date MOT, especially where this poses a serious and direct threat to people’s safety.
Not having the mandatory price lists available.
Failing to abide by the established rest times and days.

Checks and inspections will mainly focus on areas where there is a strong presence of these vehicles: train and bus stations, tourist hotspots, shopping areas and the city’s main streets.
