§ 6.72.290. Accidents.

A.

All accidents arising from or in connection with the operation of taxicabs which result in death or injury to any person, EMT services, tow services or in damage to any vehicle, or to any property in an amount exceeding the sum of two thousand dollars shall be reported to the metropolitan transportation licensing commission on a form to be furnished by the commission within seventy-two hours from either the time of the occurrence necessitating EMT or tow services or upon obtaining an estimate of the property damage. Any taxicab damaged in an accident may not be returned to service until an approved safety inspection is completed by the certificate holder.

B.

A taxicab driver operating a taxicab at the time of an accident involving bodily injury or death is required to report for a drug screen, within twenty-four hours from the time of occurrence, at a testing site designated by the metropolitan transportation licensing commission. Failure to report for such a screen may result in revocation of the taxicab driver's permit.

C.

A taxicab damaged in an accident, but still operable without placing the driver or passengers at risk, must be repaired within two weeks of the accident or removed from operation until repaired.
