Beijing to blacklist 'killer' vehicles
(CRI)

Beijing's municipal government on Sunday said it will blacklist private vehicles that repeatedly break traffic rules or cause fatal traffic accidents.
The Beijing News reports the move comes after the Ministry of Public Security ordered all traffic management bureaus to take effective measures to reduce traffic accidents after a spate of deadly incidents in Yunnan and Shaanxi provinces.
The municipal traffic management bureau said it is still drafting detailed penalties for blacklisted vehicles.
The bureau said professional drivers working at transport companies will be removed from their posts and have their identities released to the public if they are blacklisted. The companies they work for will also be held responsible.
The municipal government also plans to revoke or suspend licenses for the transport of dangerous materials if the holders break the traffic rules.
Two hundred and fourteen people have been killed in 193 accidents from January 1 to March 16 this year, according to the municipal government.
