In Afghanistan, taxi drivers have been banned from driving on the roads until their cars have been completely repainted.
The ban applies to all taxi drivers in cities and small towns.
Failure to comply with the requirement will result in serious legal consequences for taxi drivers, including prosecution, Tolo news writes.
Kabul's transport police chief, Khial Mohammad Ghawar, stressed that drivers must completely repaint their vehicles.
A partially repainted car with removed headlights or parts will be prohibited from driving on the road.
The measure was taken to comply with the provisions of the 1973 Vienna Convention on Road Traffic.
Afghan taxis painted yellow are substandard.
Taxi drivers were given no more than three months to repaint their cars blue with white added.
However, this process took a long time.
Most car owners don't have enough money to paint their cars.
Taxi drivers have to paint their cars partially as they earn money.
