The Rabat prosecutor’s office has decided to send to prison four mini-taxi drivers and the driver of a private car traveling via transport applications, as part of the investigation into the chase that occurred in a street in the capital last week.
The public prosecutor accused the taxi drivers of “parking cars on public roads in a way that disrupts and obstructs traffic, and of driving in a way that presents a danger to road users and causes panic among them.
On the other hand, the driver of the passenger car was charged with “attempted murder, transporting passengers without a license and driving in such a way as to threaten the safety of road users and cause panic”.
The incident dates back to last Thursday, when Class 2 taxi drivers chased a private car driver using ride-sharing apps, causing the vehicles to collide on public roads. The accident endangered the lives of passers-by and the safety of road users, and citizens documented it through videos posted on social networks, triggering a wave of anger, criticism and calls for regulate the transport sector through applications.
