Some party bus and limousine operators throughout Oklahoma do allow some minors to drink alcohol in their vehicles; however one limousine company owner tells his story on wanting harder restrictions. A new law states that it is a crime for party bus operators to allow underage drinking in their vehicles doesn’t go far enough and should be toughened. He quoted ‘owners of party buses and limousine services who allow minors to drink alcohol while riding in their vehicles should be charged with a felony, some of these operators are out of control, we need to get these operators of the roads once and for all’

A variety of the operators with party buses (usually old school buses that have been renovated) aren’t licensed and don’t have necessary insurance, unscrupulous operators many times are from out of state and come here during prom seasons, the penalties are not much of a risk for some high stake operators he went on to say. Operator’s would be fined $500 for allowing underage drinking aboard his vehicle, and upon a second or subsequent conviction the owner could lose he operating license for one year.

One operator filed the legislation after she said she heard about teenagers, the previous year being dropped off at a high school prom who appeared intoxicated, she originally proposed operators lose their license for up to two years and be fined up to $1,000. Party bus hire operators are not allowed to sell or even provide alcohol within their vehicles. Whether the matter will be taken to court is another day, hopefully once this law is put right everyone will be safer.

The stretched limousine market is forever changing, VOSA may not have carried out the plans to impound and even crush illegally operated limousine however the government body makes no secret of the fact that it doesn’t like the American based cars.

Meanwhile stricter import standards, a tough economy, unfavourable exchange rates and the demise of Hummer in the US, have combined to see the flow of the stretched limousine into the UK turn from a torrent into a trickle. Against this backdrop, limousine buses present a viable alternative and one that meets with VOSA’s approval, as the base vehicle have full volume type approval.  We haven’t seen a limousine bus as well executed as the Grand Illusion, the first winner our bespoke Vehicle of the year award. Based on either a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter or the near identical Volkswagen Crafter, it features a fantastic interior, complete with neon lights, large screen television, minibar and colourful, fun upholstery.

A total of seven stretched limousine carrying school children to and end of school prom had failed all safety tests. The prom held in Bedfordshire is supposed to be the most enjoyable night for a teen having their last night as a high school student. However this all changed when they were deceived by limousine companies in which they had said that all their limousine are road legal and have been tested. Only one vehicle was fit to carry anyone to the high school prom. Council officials, police and the Vehicle and Operators Services agency (VOSA) had carried out the inspection on the spot checks. From this, serious problems were found when the limousines were checked for mechanical faults and documents inspected. Prohibition notices were issued to seven of the eight limousines hired for the occasion. ‘one was in such a dangerous mechanical condition, it had to be compounded overnight’ said one police spokesman. ‘its driver was issued with a £200 fixed penalty notice, in the case of a student who arrived at the school premises standing in an ice-cream can, for which his parent had paid its drive a fee, both the driver and owner are now facing potential prosecution.

 Another sad story with a hero ending with the prom nights this year. One group of year 11 girls from Bradford had nearly had there prom night ruined after the stretched limousine company they had booked with failed to turn up. One of the dads of the prom goers had called the company and asked what had gone on, he was told that the vehicle had broken down and wouldn’t be able to attend, no replacement limousine was even offered.

With one desperate youngsters needing a ride to their prom night, the girls went to flag down a passing limo and asked if they could help them out, the chauffeur then agreed to shuffle his jobs around in order to save the day for the youngsters.

The limousine company who helped them out were Oasis limos, they had explained that they had three different limos in the area and had explained that they could rearrange everything to help them out. The company which failed to turn up refused later in the week to return the girls deposit as they had told the press about the incident. It has been reported that the limousine company let down a number of other prom goers on the same night by providing the luxury transportation they had booked for.

Due to the pure fact that most limousine companies are not listening to the law or acknowledging the changes, VOSA are cracking down on the limousine firms that choose to go against them.

A prom night is the last chance to look back on your school life and remember the good times, the hard and to have an insight of what the future will bring, however one prom in Peterborough was ruined as a limousine company (not to be named) had not been honest to their costumers by not following the law and therefore creating the worst possible nightmare for a promsters last night of school life.

Twelve limousines in total were called to a stop, all of which from the same limousine firm. All of the limousine chauffeurs had no UK licence, three of the limos had then been towed and scrapped leaving the promsters on the side road, the hummer style stretch limousine had fifteen people on board with no COIF certificate, and every time they tried to turn the limousine on, it drenched the road with petrol which was coming from the engine.

From this over 12 limousines worth of prom goers last school night was ruined, how much more until people learn.

Limousine firms throughout Essex have said that this year they are finding it hard to keep up with the demand from the teenagers that are willing to splash out to arrive in style for their prom nights. The bigger limousine companies are gathering up to 300 calls for every date in the prom calendar and are tired of turning away people for certain dates.

One limousine spokeswomen quoted ‘we just wish we had more cars’ ‘the bigger limousines like the party buses and hummer are more demand for the fact that the legal ones are 16 seaters, we are probably booked for the next couple of months now for the prom season’

Another limousine company owner said ‘we are virtually fully booked; our long white stretch limousines are very popular’

The season has started, and for most companies, it will not finish for at least another month or so.

Just recently, we have started giving formal presentations to council licensing officers about stretch limos – what they are, how they are built, VOSA’s requirements etc.

 One such presentation was given to Spelthorne Council and invited licensing officers from other councils (12 in all) on 13^th April.  The presentation was followed by a very open Q and A forum and “both sides” were very open and frank – from the good, the bad and of course, the ugly.

 Today, we received the following email from the senior licensing officer of Runneymede Borough Council, who until now, have not licensed limousines:

 BEGIN QUOTE

Just a short note to let you know that Members of the Regulatory Committee agreed, last night, to relax the restriction & requirement of 3 point lap & diagonal passenger seat belts for side or rear facing seats.

 he item put before the Committee was aimed at removing the one condition that inhibited the licensing of ‘stretched limos’ in Runnymede.

 There seems to be no good reason why any operator based within the Borough cannot now become licensed with us and operate within the law.

 Please feel free to contact us should you wish any further information.

END QUOTE

This is good news and goes to show what can be achieved if a sensitive and accurate approach is adopted and put before the authorities, who of course, have the deciding vote.

 We also heard today that both Bolton and Walsall Councils have agreed to license limousines of up to eight passengers.
