Hummer Limousine Hire UK Laws

"THE LAW IS AN ASS" AUTHOR: Charles Dickens (1812?70) Oliver Twist, Chapter 51. First published serially 1837?1839 SUBJECT: The Law QUOTATION: "If the Law supposes that," said Mr. Bumble, "the Law is an Ass ? an Idiot. If that's the Eye of the Law, the Law is a Bachelor; and the worst I wish the Law is that his Eye may be opened by Experience" "SUBSTANTIAL PROOF OF THE ABOVE" QUESTION: If the Law is truly an Ass, does that mean Limousine Companies are Donkeys.

OUR OPINION: "UK Minibus Legislation is more than 10 Years Out of Date, the EC is still trying to fit a Round Peg into a Square Hole". 1. Any vehicle with more than 8 seats is classified as a Minibus since 1986.

Thousands of Limousines have up to 16 seats, they are clearly not Minibuses. 2. A Minibus must have a COIF certificate to be legally allowed to carry fare-paying passengers. The UK Authorities responsible for this will not issue any COIF certificate for 99.999% of Limousines in the UK.

3. The vast majority of Minibuses in the UK now have to have a Tachograph fitted. We have been advised that they still have not designed a Tacho that will fit onto all Limousines, and when they are fitted they do not even have to be switched on for Private Use. 4. Minibus Legislation allocates 40cm per Person for room to sit. That's fine for sardines, but would you like to pay hundreds of pounds for a Limousine and then sit cross-legged and sweating away in a 40cm space.

5. Many Local Councils have informed their local Limousine Companies that they cannot collect passengers in adjacent areas, ie. in the next Borough ? which is sometimes only a very short distance from their registered address. That is classified as Cross Border Hiring which is illegal ! 6. In addition the adjacent Local Councils have also informed all Limousine Companies that they cannot register in or out of their area at all and also that they will not licence any Left-Hand Drive Vehicles for Private Hire Purposes anyway.

All SuperStretch American Ford & Lincoln Limousines only exist in Left Hand Drive. 7. After all these years the Government is now considering introducing a Special Licence and Compliance Test for Limousines.

As of 1st January 2008 this still has not been done. 8. Contract Hire is now being abolished on 28th January 2008. No nationwide system has been created to replace Contract Hire, ie. to allow Bona-Fide Limousine Companies to operate legally in the UK. 9.

Thanks to all of the above the only Insurance Company catering for Private Hire for the 16-Seater Limousines has now pulled out of the market. So Bona-Fide Limousine Companies are now having to switch their insurance on to a brand-new scheme, in order to operate legally. 10.

Enforcement Officers, when they ruin your Night-Out and make you abandon your Limousine half way through your journey in the middle of nowhere for example at 3am in the morning on your way back from a night-out, claim it's in the interest of Road Safety. All of these Limos have passed Stringent Annual Safety Tests and Monthly Roadworthy Checks in the USA and in the UK and continue to do so today. Most Enforcement Officers, Council Staff, Hummer Limo Passengers, Limo Drivers, Limousine Companies etc are not aware of the whole of the above Info. But you the Reader are now fully aware, Knowledge is Power.

WHAT TO DO NEXT So if you wish to book and ride legally in Super-Longbody Limousines and travel with 8 - 16 passengers on your Special Day Out, you have TWO OPTIONS. OPTION 1: Is to book two separate 8-seater Limousines to carry your Guests and forget about the Big 16-Seater Super-Longbody Limousines. This however is no fun at all, as your Group is sadly being split into two, so that they cannot travel in a Party Atmosphere or talk to half of their Friends and also it will cost you more to hire TWO Limos instead of one. OPTION 2: Is to carry up to 16 passengers in a Single Limousine. The way to do this legally is to book the Limousine from a Limo Rental Company and then separately find a Qualified Professional Driver for your Hummer Limousine Hire independently elsewhere.
