Who is required to certify that the meter is properly functioning if its seal is disconnected?
- Correct answer: Only a qualified service provider.
- The taxi owner, who is required to sign the certification.
- The Licensing Office near the driver’s place of residence.
- The Controller of Road Traffic.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Only a qualified service provider.
The seal on a taxi meter guarantees that nobody has tampered with it and that it calculates fares correctly. Once the seal is broken, only a qualified service provider may inspect the meter, recalibrate it and seal it again. The taxi owner cannot certify his own meter, and the Licensing Office or the Controller of Road Traffic do not carry out this technical check.
