Reflective strip around taxi

Question

I would like to know if the taxi's should have a yellow reflective strip around the vehicle or where it should be positioned.It did not come from the dealer with the strip?

Answer

I presume (for the purposes of this query) that you wish to operate a mini-bus taxi?? If so - the yellow reflective material must be fitted in terms of Regulation 192A (any bus from 1/7/2006) as follows: a) at least 50 mm wide; b) at least 80 % of both the length and width of the vehicle; c) distance between single elements may not exceed half of the length of the shortest element; d) 600 mm or less from the lower part of the body; e) at least 250 mm but not more than 1 500 mm above the ground f) identify as closely as possible the overall shape of the vehicle to the side and rear g) must be yellow
