The City Police campaign starts today (Monday) and will be in place until Sunday 15, the goal being to prevent non-compliance, fraud and unfair competition relating to licences for chauffeured vehicles.
Specifically, the round-the-clock campaign will prioritise checks on the following:
- Provision of service while disqualified from driving or without the obligatory insurance.
- Driving while over the legal limit for alcohol or with the presence of drugs in the body, or not taking the corresponding tests if required to.
- Not having a valid MOT licence, particularly where this poses a direct and serious danger to people’s safety.
- Non-compliance with established days and hours of rest.
- Not having the established pricing tables.
Inspections and checks will mainly affect areas where these vehicles have a strong presence, such as train and bus stations, tourist spots, shopping areas and the main streets at any point around the city.
