Vehicle drivers need to show agents they carry a valid insurance policy and the registration proving ownership of the vehicle. When these are shown, the Digesett by law is only authorized to issue fines. The driver also needs to have a valid driver&#8217;s license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Diario Libre says it is frequent for Digesett agents to seize motorcycles of those caught using the elevated road passes. What is correct, is for these motorcyclists to just receive fines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Diario Libre reports that Digesett agents are abusing their power when they confiscate the vehicles unlawfully and cause significant hardship, especially for citizens who depend on their motorcycles for daily survival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, the reality is that while the agents can levy the fines, if the owner of the vehicle does not pay these, in a year\u2019s time the owner of the car can request their extinction, as recently reported by Minister of Interior &amp; Police Faride Raful. Raful seeks that Congress pass a law making the fines mandatory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.diariolibre.com\/actualidad\/nacional\/2025\/03\/12\/digesett-solo-puede-retener-un-vehiculo-si-no-tiene-documentos\/3030249\">Diario Libre <\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/listindiario.com\/la-republica\/gobierno\/20250317\/faride-raful-procura-convertir-obligatorio-pago-multas-transito_849692.html\">Listin Diario <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>17 March 2025<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Traffic Safety and Transportation Agency (Digesett) can only seize your vehicle if you lack the necessary documentation, as per Transit Law 63-17, Diario Libre reports.
