On Saturday 11 October, 24 taxis were safety checked by North Yorkshire’s Road Safety Team and the DVSA, with many found to be unsatisfactory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The targeted checks were part of preparations for the upcoming ‘Dark Nights’ operation, focusing on keeping the roads safe in the darker months and winter weather. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

North Yorkshire officers found vehicles with faulty number plate lights, incorrect number plates and tyre defects, among offences such as using a vehicle in a dangerous condition and using an incorrectly registered vehicle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traffic Constable Matthew Harvey, Road Safety Officer, said: ”This operation is not a one-off. Officers will continue to ensure that vehicles travelling in North Yorkshire are roadworthy, especially taxis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

”Public safety is our priority, and we’re committed to making sure that those who rely on taxis can do so with confidence.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahead of darker evenings and poor weather, the road safety team reminds all drivers, especially those in passenger vehicles, to ensure their vehicles meet legal and maintenance standards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
