Is it obligatory to remove the meter from a taxi if its owner doesn’t have a valid taxi operation permit?
- Correct answer: Yes.
- No.
- Yes, if three months passed since the scheduled date of the annual test and the test has not been made yet.
- Yes, within 72 hours.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Yes.
A taxi meter belongs only in a vehicle operated as a taxi under a valid taxi operation permit. If the owner has no such permit, the vehicle may not work as a taxi, so the meter must be removed, with no grace period and regardless of the vehicle's annual test. This prevents an unlicensed car from looking like a taxi and carrying paying passengers.
