Motorcycle tags in April

[NewsWhore]

The Tax Department director (DGII), Juan Hernandez, says that the government tax agency would begin issuing license plates for all motorcycles and other two-wheeled motorized vehicles in the Dominican Republic. According to Diario Libre, the DGII does not even know how many of these vehicles there are in the country. He did say that the small license plates have been available for motorcycles used to transport passengers, popularly known as "motoconchos". Hernandez blamed the former PRD government for ending the issue of license tags to motorcycles and, as a result, the DGII does not have an accurate count of the total number of these vehicles using the nation's highways. He estimated that there were over a million of these unlicensed cycles. However, an article in Listin Diario says that there are at least two million motorcycles that need to be registered and tagged. Apparently, the director general announced that all vehicles used for public transportation would need to get their registrations in order in time for April. Just how this daunting task of registering two million motorcycles would be implemented was not explained to the reporters.
