Wembley Take That Gig Limos Targeted By Cops July 8 2009 Police pounced on suspect limousines as they took gig-goers to Wembley's Take That concerts. Of the twelve limos stopped by traffic officers last Friday only two left with a clean bill of health. The vehicles were stopped and taken to an inspection site in Carey Way, Wembley, where officers, working together with the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA), conducted mechanical examinations on the different types of limousines. At the same time relevant checks were made on the drivers. One driver was arrested and later charged for driving whilst disqualified. Another limo was seized, as the driver was not qualified to drive a Public Service Vehicle (PSV) for hire and reward. In addition there were two driver's hours offences detected, which resulted in a £200 Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) issued by VOSA. A further five immediate PG9's (prohibition notices) were issued for dangerous offences and one limo received a delayed PG9 for a maintenance matter, with two drivers receiving verbal warnings for minor infractions.

Don't know about this one; can anyone clarify please? If the limo is licensed as a Private Hire vehicle, then there are no limits on hours, I presume. These limos must have been classed (& licensed as PSVs?) so limitations on hour are applicable? Is that right? |

They should all know the rules by now so there should be no excuses. Strange but there is no mention of self drive.

Maybe the further inquires mentioned in this article relate to the scam.

Nail on the head methinks. |
