OKLAHOMA LIMOUSINE OPERATOR SEEKING NEW LAW RESTRICTIONS ON PARTY BUSES.

October 13th, 2010

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.

LIMOUSINE COMPANY SAVES PROM NIGHT

July 14th, 2010

 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.

96 MINIMUM PROMSTERS LEFT ON SIDE WALK AFTER VOSA CRACKDOWN

July 8th, 2010

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.

MAKING ROYAL ASCOT A TREAT!

July 5th, 2010

Dear Gary,

 I cant thank you enough for making my day out with the girls to Ascot an extra special one. Back in November I was diagnosed with a terminal illness which was completely unexpected and very shocking, and saw the start of my wish list.

 Every year, my girls and yours truly have gone to Ascot ladies day; it’s the only time we get to be ladies! For us it has always been a special day, we are very close and this was our time. When my diagnosis began to sink in, we wanted to fulfil the saying that one year we would go in style by Limo, and it is thanks to you that this was able to happen.

 Myself, and the girls, the newest edition being nick, had the most amazing day. To turn up at Ascot and be in the only Red Dodge Charger was just simply out of this world, and this would not have been possible without the generosity of not only a professional businessman, but the generosity of a complete stranger whose kind act of generosity simply touched me, (that’s you Gary in case your wondering….)

 Everything about our day was truly special, from the sun (im sure you ordered that too), the company of the girls and Nick, and the amazing Limo with a very brave Steve at the wheel! And how superb was he?! We couldn’t have asked of a more perfect day and Steve was a perfect gentleman, nothing was too much trouble for him, he looked after us and a firm telling off when we tried to tidy up our mess too! The man deserves a medal for looking after and putting up with us like he did. I found the whole day an emotional rollercoaster and hope that this will not have been my last time at Ascot, and bless Steve for hugging me when it all got abit too much.

 The finishing touch was how he got out daughter Abigail involved both before we left and after we came back, she was the first in the Limo to see the inside, and a trip to the end of the road simply made her day and meant so much to myself and Nick.

 So thank you Gary you truly made my wish come true, and we couldn’t have done it in better style. The Red Dodge Charger was just perfect; it’s a beautiful car and one hell of a sexy beast! This time it has 8 sexy people inside it, who felt like stars. Your company is a peoples one, you simply care about your clients and look after them from start to finish. Steve was even polishing the windows outside my house before we left as there was smear on them apparently! We couldn’t see it, but it’s the little touches that mean everything;  the way the bar was polished and ready for the refill on the way home, the table and chairs were set up and the food was ready for our return, we know that we would never have got this level of personal professionalism from just another limo company, yours is stuff dreams are made off, and you made mine into reality. You also gave us some extra special memories for myself, Nick and the girls to look back on, because we will never forget anything about our perfect day.

 Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my dream day come into reality.

With love, Jane xx

DEMAND FOR LIMO’S IN ESSEX

June 23rd, 2010

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.

Councils looking at limousines more objectively?

June 9th, 2010

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 13th 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.
