Valencia Police Arrest Disqualified Driver Running Illegal Taxi After Urban Chase

Police cite a 0.77 mg/l breath test alongside a court-ordered driving ban.

Overview

  • Local officers say the driver refused to stop and fled through Patraix and Jesús with four paying passengers in the car.
  • USAP units joined the pursuit along avenida Gaspar Aguilar before the Renault was blocked on avenida Tres Cruces near the cemetery.
  • Police report the man had no valid licence and was under a judicial ban on driving that has been in force since January.
  • The breath test measured 0.77 mg/l in exhaled air, and the driver refused drug screening when asked by officers.
  • Investigators opened proceedings and placed the detainee at the disposal of the courts, a case that spotlights the risks of using unlicensed rides.
