As of 15 March the tax department (la Direcci?n General de Impuestos Internos, DGII) wants to start nationwide with the handing out of license plates and vests to motoconchos (motorcycle taxis). The entire plan will, according to the tax authorities, cost a total of 1300 million pesos. Motorcyclists need only pay 100 pesos for a license plate and vest. In the subsequent period the motorcyclists will also have to pass a driving test. Private motorcyclists will have to purchase a new license plate and vest at a later date. The license plates for individuals will have a different color and therefore will stand out from the license plate of a motoconcho.
Moreover, all the cars will need in the near future a second license plate for the front end of the car. These measures are in accordance with the tax authorities and traffic police to improve traffic safety.
