S.L. 499.66 Art. 16Driver to be in possession of a tag and shall maintain a clean appearance.

(1) No person may drive an animal-drawn vehicle for hire or reward unless that person has, besides a category X driving licence, a tag issued by the Authority.

(2) The Authority shall issue, to a driver in possession of a Licence X driving licence, a tag against the payment of the fee as subscribed in the First Schedule.

(3) Every such driver shall, while driving an animal-drawn vehicle used for the carriage of passengers for hire or reward or while waiting on a karrozzin stand where that vehicle is a karrozzin, wear in a conspicuous place and in a manner that it may easily be seen the tag issued to him by the Authority.

(4) It shall not be lawful for a driver to lend his tag to any other person, or to permit any other person to make use thereof, even though such person is licensed to act as a driver of an animal-drawn vehicle. It shall likewise be unlawful for a person to make use of a tag issued to any other person.

(5) In the event that the tag becomes discoloured, disfigured or is torn, the driver shall immediately return such tag to the Authority and the Authority shall issue a replacement tag free of charge:

Provided that the holder of the driver’s tag shall pay to the Authority the fee prescribed in the First Schedule for the fourth and any subsequent replacement of a driver’s tag made within the tag’s validity period.

(6) A driver who loses his tag shall immediately, and without delay, inform the Authority, and, if he proves to the satisfaction of the Authority that the tag had been lost without any fault on his part, the Authority shall issue a replacement tag against the payment of the fee prescribed in the First Schedule.

(7) A driver shall return the tag immediately to the Authority upon the revocation or the suspension of his driving licence and the Authority shall give due receipt for the driver’s tag so returned.

(8) A tag issued under this regulation shall be renewed every five years subject to a refresher course organised by the Authority.

(9) The driver of a karrozzin shall maintain a clean appearance and, if a uniform has been designed by the Authority, wear such uniform at all times while he is driving the karrozzin.
