Night out on the town
Continuing from yesterday's theme of how to get home after a night on the town it seems that the new tradition of using stretched Limos are under threat as well.
Police operation staged an operation in Swansea in which 12 limousines were stopped and examined. Only half passed safety and licensing checks. Four vehicles were found to have such serious defects they were immediately taken off the road and two others were issued with delayed prohibitions subject to work being carried out. The vehicles failed on various grounds, including sub-standard manoeuvrability and using non-approved tyres.
I always wondered about these vehicles. Let us hope that this operation will now ensure that they are safe as well as popular.
