Según escrito de la DGT. de fecha 26/10/04, en relación de la posibilidad de que un taxi pude realizar funciones de vehículo piloto en un transporte especial le participo lo siguiente: El reglamento General de vehículos define el taxi como turismo destinado al servicio público de viajeros y provisto de aparato taxímetro o no. El citado RGV. impone además a los taxis la obligación de ir dotados de determinas luces y señales especificas, de forma permanente. Por otra parte el Art. 66.1.a) de la Ley 38/92 de Impuestos especiales establece que los taxis estén exentos del impuesto especial sobre determinados medios de transporte ello, en base al servicio que se destinan. Por todo ello, y considerando además que los vehículos piloto de acompañamiento de transportes especiales deben, conforme al Anexo XI del RGV., llevar instalados la señal V-2, previa acreditación ante la Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico del servicio a que se destinan, que en el caso del taxi, ESTA SUBDIRECCIÓN GENERAL ESTIMA QUE UN TAXI NO DEBE SER AUTORIZADO PARA LA REALIZACIÓN DE SERVICIOS DE VEHÍCULO PILOTO DE ACOMPAÑAMIENTO A UN TRANSPORTE ESPECIAL.
