They can only license it if it has 8 or fewer passenger seats.
It might have the capacity to seat 100, but it must only have 8 or fewer passenger seats.
What if the seats are not clearly defined as in bench seats? There is no upper width size for seats.
The reason I ask is that one of my limo mates has bought a large suv type limo that clearly has a seating capacity of at least 12 passengers but his LO has given the vehicle PH plates for 8 passengers and was happy to do so. I have absolutly no doubt that this operator will only ever carry 8 passengers and not one more but could he still have a problem if he gets a tug from VOSA etc. Or because he has plates can he tell VOSA that it is none of their business.
