As the environmentally friendly limo-driver to the stars, Y Fray does not like to talk about her A-list clientele.

Limos In Scotland
2008-02-16 08:30:00
 Limousines are considered as status symbols anywhere else in the world including Scotland .  However, the luxury car was not exempted in the Scottish government’s new law that is set to affect the country’s limo industry. Amidst the rapid increase of limousines in Scotland streets, reaching up to 15,000, the country’s Department of Transport passed a new code that requires registration and licensing of vehicles that accommodate more than eight passengers, The Herald reports. The code also advices operators to comply with the regulations on vehicle weight, tyres, doors including reflectors and turning circle.  Good thing they didn’t include the car bra.

  Auto industry has its share of surprises. Yes, you might be surprised to know that a special license is necessary to operate a limo service. You might also be startled to pay “gas-guzzler tax”. Will you be surprised to know that Chrysler Windsor parts can be transformed into spectacular limo? So to keep surprises to a limit, Howstuffworks gives the facts and figures:LicensingThere isn't a standardized licensing requirement for chauffeurs from one state to another. Some states require chauffeurs pass a specific test to become licensed, while others simply require the applicant to fill out a form. SafetyLimo s have to meet the same safety standards as other vehicles. In theory, every conversion shop has to put every vehicle variation through a battery of tests, including crash tests, to ensure the safety of the driver and passengers. The government periodically inspects vehicles and requests proof from limo companies that their vehicles have been tested.Mileage...

As such, the German automaker is not just enhancing the Volkswagen expansion tank but its entire lineup as well.Bentley wants to make its models more environmentally friendly and to edge closer to proposed EU limits, the financial daily Handelsblatt recently reported, citing Bentley head Franz-Josef Paefgen.

At least for now.According to the report, the county's Public Transportation Commission rejected his request Wednesday to license the trendy fuel-sipping car as a limousine. This was done without discussion at all. Moshe’s Prius would have been the first hybrid vehicle licensed for public hire in Hillsborough. But Hillsborough won't license it as a hired car.Moshe, the owner of TB Limo Black Car Service in North Redington Beach, said that commissioners didn't talk over his proposal.
