Just one day after the deadline for the purchase of the license renewal stickers, hundreds of vehicles were seized by the Metropolitan Transit Authority (AMET) for moving around Greater Santo Domingo without the official "marbete". The impounded vehicles were taken to the former dog-racing track on Sol Poniente Avenue in the National District. Listin Diario is reporting that AMET impounded 1,123 vehicles in Santo Domingo, and 103 vehicles in Santiago.
Oddly enough, the lines at the express booths to get the "marbete" renewals were reduced yesterday because the General Direction for Internal Taxes announced that the booths would remain open until the 31st of this month. For those who get their car towed they will have to buy the "marbete", go to the transit court at AMET HQ, take the original car registration documents, and a card signed by AMET in order to get their car back. Some people never learn.
