Uber drivers can now be fined

February 24, 2017 by Staff News Writer

The decision made by the Constitutional Court of declaring inadmissible the actions of unconstitutionality filed against the law on Public Service of Taxi Transport Mode (SEETAXI) makes legal fines given to Uber drivers.

On February 19th, 2016, the Chamber upheld the amparo thereby it prevented officers from charging fines; However, due to the resolution, the collection is in force again.

However, drivers have the possibility to appeal the penalty. They should do so in the following 10 days. If they do not, the fine becomes final and they must pay it in the given time limit, if not, interests will apply.

According to Carlos Rivas, legal representative of the Road Safety Council, COSEVI does not need to be notified of the decision of the Board, because they were not related to the appeal, so they are able to start the collection process.
