SECONDHAND VEHICLES NOT ACCEPTED

The licensee of a taxi, public light bus or public car who

wants to replace his vehicle will have to present a new vehicle for

registration and licensing from January 1 next year.

"Secondhand vehicles will no longer be accepted," a spokesman

for the Transport Department said today.

He explained that these types of vehicles covered a high daily

mileage and it was unsatisfactory that they should begin their life on

public roads in less than new mechanical condition.

"Secondhand vehicles which may pass an initial mechanical

inspection before licensing are likely to deteriorate rapidly, resulting

in the emission of excessive exhaust smoke," the spokesman said.
