(A) In the event a vehicle for hire is equipped with a taximeter, every applicant for a village issued certificate to operate a vehicle for hire and every licensee, shall deliver for testing the vehicle for hire with the meter attached thereto to such person as the Village Administrator may direct. Any such applicant or licensee may be present or represented at the time such test is made.
(B) Every meter shall be tested to determine the accuracy of its recording mechanism with respect to distance traveled, either by running the vehicle for hire to which it is attached over a course of standard two miles in length or by a mechanical test. Both of the foregoing tests may be made in the discretion of the Village Administrator.
(C) In order to determine whether any meter correctly registers waiting time, the person, such as the Village Administrator shall designate, shall test such meter by comparing the time recorded as shown by the fare computed on the dial thereof with the standard time.
(D) When any test shows that a meter correctly records the charge of fare, measured by distance traveled, waiting time and additional passengers, it shall be sealed and a written certificate of the test shall be issued by such person as the Village Administrator designates to the licensee.
