Tragic Accident Spurs Legislator to Rally Support for Party Bus Law
California Assemblyman Jerry Hill recently renewed his call for tough laws against party buses after a young woman fell from a party bus and was killed in a tragic accident near Santa Cruz. The 25-year-old victim was reportedly fighting with another woman on board the bus when their struggles opened a door, causing the victim to fall onto Highway 17, where she was struck and killed. Calling party buses “booze cruises,” Hill asked fellow lawmakers to pass AB 45, the bill he introduced 18 months ago. If passed, the bill would close a loophole in an existing law, which holds chauffeurs responsible for underage drinking in limousines but has no provisions for drivers of party buses.
“The problem is, and the sad part is, that there are those operators who are just in it for a quick buck,” Hill says. “And they will take anybody on a ride and charge them what they can and allow them to do what they want without the responsibility of what can occur.”
Hill claims that if legislators had passed his bill when it was introduced, the tragic death of the Santa Cruz woman could have been avoided. The bill has already been passed in the California Assembly and is under review in the Senate. If passed, the law would subject chauffeurs that allow underage drinking to be fined up to $2,000 for each infraction, with the possibility of losing their driver’s licenses.
Whether this law is passed or not, it won’t change our policy on underage drinking or our approach to guest safety. We have stated many times that a very small minority of Bay Area party bus rental companies are responsible for the vast majority of incidences of drunken and rowdy behavior outside clubs and other locations. We work with other San Francisco party bus services to promote responsible guest policies and keep our guests’ party bus experiences fun and safe. Guest safety is our first priority at all times, and we explain our rules to guests before each rental. If you want to have a memorable San Francisco party bus experience that is safe, fun and affordable, please call us today at NLS Limo at 800-339-8936 to make a reservation for your special occasion.
The Top Five Reasons to Rent a San Francisco Party Bus This Summer
Here in the Bay Area, summertime is on the cool side close to the ocean but plenty hot just a few miles inland. Our San Francisco party buses are similar in that they are plenty hot to look at and be seen in but delightfully cool and comfortable on the inside with climate control, smokin’ sound systems, flat-screen TVs, wet bars and other luxury amenities. If those plush amenities aren’t enough to get your creative juices flowing and rent one of our limos for an outing with friends and family, here are the top five reasons to rent our Bay Area limos and party buses this summer:
Wisconsin Tour Bus Company Offers Party Bus Craft Beer Tours
A recent story out of Wisconsin gave us a bolt of inspiration on how we can accommodate craft beer lovers with our San Francisco party buses. Hop Head Brewery, a Wisconsin-based craft brewer with a passionate following among Midwestern beer lovers, has created a new branch of the business to stir sales and make sure beer lovers can imbibe to their hearts’ content and get home safely. The Hop Head Beer Tour Company recently opened for business, and, judging by participation and enthusiasm, this idea is a hit with Wisconsinites who seek the best in malt-based beverages.
Rent a Bay Area Party Bus for Your St. Paddy’s Day Pub Crawl!
Pub crawls on St. Patrick’s Day are a tradition going back for many Bay Area residents. After all, how can an Irishman, Irishwoman or anyone hoping to be one at least for one day confine himself or herself to one or two bars on this traditional day of merriment? Miss all the festivities in our city’s many drinking establishments? Not a chance! Deal with driving, parking and all the attendant hassles of each? There’s no chance there either unless you want to spend most of your evening driving around while your friends are engaged in activities more consistent with the spirit of the day. Rather than relegate yourself to an evening of anguish behind the wheel, why not rent a San Francisco party bus from NLS Limo?
Proposed Law Targets Party Buses
A California lawmaker has proposed legislation that will close a loophole in an existing law and will make limousine companies responsible for underage drinking that goes on in their vehicles. Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, recently proposed Assembly Bill 45, also known as the Brett Studebaker Law, to be passed in the California state legislature. If passed, the law will require California limousine services, party bus operators and other group transportation companies classified as “carriers” to check the identification of all passengers and require anyone under 21 to sign an agreement not to drink while riding in the vehicle. Current state laws require chauffeurs to sign such an agreement before transporting passengers. If an underage passenger violates the terms of the agreement, the driver must terminate the contract and return all passengers to the point of origin.
