The Metropolitan Transport Authority (AMET) will continue its operation to impound any vehicles that do not have their annual taxation sticker known as a “marbete.” Owners of vehicles that do not have it will have to pay a RD$1,600 fine.
According to AMET spokesman, Roberto Lebron, the checks will continue until every vehicle has the required documentation and since 31 December to yesterday, Tuesday 7 January some 2,000 vehicles have been impounded.
The government is also checking for up-to-date driver’s licenses and the so-called inspection sticker, the “revista.” The date for the revista validity in Santo Domingo has been extended to 31 January.
