Limousine Inspector Taken for a Dangerous Ride in Illegal Limo
A chauffer of an illegal limo in Brooklyn, New York gave a Limousine Commission inspector the ride of his life recently after getting caught in an illegal limo sting operation. Shortly after hailing an illegal fare, limo driver Abdourahamane Barry, 37, learned that his fare was actually an undercover inspector for New York’s Taxi and Limousine Commission. The inspector had just negotiated a $15 fare for a relatively short trip and climbed into the back of the limo when he announced the bust and told his driver he was going to get a ticket. Instead of accepting the fine, the chauffeur tried to speed away from the TLC inspector who had been standing with a group of other inspectors as part of their sting operation.

Honor Students Treated to Limousine Ride
Five honor students from an elementary school in Michigan were rewarded for their diligence and scholastic achievement recently with a limousine ride complete with a stop for lunch. The five kids attend Village Oaks Elementary School in Novi, Michigan, and their hard work earned them two hours off from school, a trip to McDonald’s, the pinnacle of culinary rewards for any elementary school kid, and over two hours riding around in the back of a Hummer limousine. We like writing about these types of stories because school kids who excel in sports get all kinds of perks and accolades for their athletic prowess, and we feel that academic athletes should be rewarded as well!

Arsonist on Trial Demands Limo Ride for Witnesses
A Detroit, Michigan man facing arson charges in connection with a fire that injured seven Detroit firefighters has demanded that the government pay for a limousine service to transport ten witnesses to his trail in Ann Arbor. Calvin Jones, a self-employed auto mechanic, is scheduled to stand trial on June 28 for his alleged role in helping to set a fire that gutted a department store and led to injuries that paralyzed one firefighter and seriously injured six more. Jones claims that the witnesses are poor and don’t own their own transportation, making it very difficult for them to attend the trial. He claims that the witnesses are crucially important for his defense and that renting a limo for them is the most cost-effective way to transport them to his trial.

Illegal Limousines Crushed and Shredded By English Watchdog Agency
In an unusual move certainly intended to be a warning to illegal limousine operators, the Vehicle Operator Services Agency (VOSA), which is the agency that regulates the limousine industry in the United Kingdom, recently seized, crushed and shredded two luxury limousines. The Ford Excursion SUV limousines were seized from an illegal limousine operator in South Wales because they did not meet VOSA safety regulations and were transporting passengers illegally. The agency that registers, licenses and oversees San Francisco limousines and other limo services in California is the Public Utilities Commission (PUC). While they have not yet taken drastic steps like VOSA to address illegal limo operators, this might give them some ideas.
