New Safety Measures for Limousines Take Effect

In continuing efforts to make the roads a safer place, the DMV has made it mandatory for limousine drivers to give their passengers a safety briefing before their journey begins. Information regarding emergency exits, locations of fire extinguishers, and how to break windows in the event of an emergency. 

The DMV has also taken steps to make sure drivers are qualified to operate these vehicles. Since December of 2022, 98 altered vehicle (stretch limousines) registrations have been revoked. As well as 20 drivers that have been arrested and charged for fraudulently registering and operating limos.
