Six other limousines were found to have traces of Class A drugs.
Why does that not worry me at all? Seriously, I would expect to find Class As in the vehicle, just like you would in many pub toilets.
Maybe PU can let me know whether the limo driver could be brought up on a charge of allowing premises to be used... or would a limo not fall within the definition of premises.
That said, unlike a nine-seat Transit minibus or a five-seat car, there is no clear statutory framework that allows limousines to operate and so there is a gap between licensing powers, legislation and market demand and whilst many limo operators are undoubtedly dodgy, I have some sympathy for them in that it must be almost impossible to operate legitimately, even if the operator takes all reasonable steps and no harm is actually being done to the passengers or anyone else.

"defects, ranging from poorly maintained tyres" For poorly maintained, read a couple of PSI out on pressure....
.... and just how accurate are forecourt air lines?
Vehicle inspectors can sometimes be as anally retentive as the IAM.....

Doubt whether they could be classed as "premisses" despite my wish that there should be some sort of planning control on them !

i can see the headlines now
"12 killed in limo accident"
upcry in the suburbs what are the govt doing?
every limo in my area that i have taken a close interest in as you do (the car not the women) are a wreck on wheels and bald tyres are probably the least of your worries.
im pleased at least one area is doing a check on these mobile bordello"s and issuing stop notices

Having taken a trip to Ascot Ladies Day, we were amazed at the array of unbelievable stretched stretch limos, stretched Ford 4x4s (!) etc. - many so tastefully decked out in pink. Anyone wanting to check on these vehicles would probably have been able to see every one in the UK that day as they appeared to come from everywhere from Cornwall to Newcastle and filled almost an entire carpark (8), plus overspill into 7.
What was more fascinating was the three hours - yes three hours - we spent among them to get from the M3 to racecourse (no parade or first race for us :~{ ) via a route posted to take you away from Ascot. I would not be the driver of one of these for any money having seen the passengers and their condition - which enforced them to take 'comfort trips' into the brambles,both females and males, repeatedly. We saw two 'broken down' where the passengers had decided to walk (stagger?) the rest of the way. We suspected the drivers had faked the breakdown to decant the occupants. As this was before they got to the event, heaven knows what condition they were in on the return journey.
