It would be so much easier if they just made them have a licence regardless of what work they do if it is for hire and reward surely that would stop any confusion |

Quote: Ms Forrest, who now works at a nursery, said: "It's bizarre that I can pick up a wedding party without an operators' licence, but need it if I want to do a hen party or stag do.
Indeed, I hope one day you should need to be licensed to do them as well. |

It would be so much easier if all councils would license limos, upto 8 seats only of course. I don't know about Tameside but I assume that they will license and this lady, for whatever reason, hadn't done it. The problem with removing the wedding exemption would be that some of the very nice vintage cars would then need to be licensed and they would not pass council tests. The confusion regarding wedding hire, in my opinion is not realy there. The exempt part is the ceremony itself, not the hen party or stag night or the prom with a ribbon on the front. Asian weddings are a little difforent though because the civil wedding, the legal part, is usually before the Asian part. The Asian wedding takes place at a later date and it can take a number of days to complete. They usually hire a limo to take the groom to the ceremony and bring the bride and groom back. |

It was very popular until a van driver on the phone tried to overtake him as he was turning right.

Quote: It was the second time she had been targeted in an undercover `sting'. The first time she escaped prosecution after it emerged limousine drivers do not need operators' licences to pick up wedding parties. On that occasion, she picked up a wedding party - only to recognise the `bride' as a council licensing officer.
can we take it from that that the LO tried to nick her but didnt know the law?... |

Quote: Bill Bowling, of the National Limousines and Chauffeur Association, said drivers don't need a licence if they only do weddings and funerals.
But he added: "There is confusion over what constitutes part of a wedding." maybe i can help him there... A wedding is the ceremony in which two people are united in marriage. Wedding traditions and customs vary greatly between cultures, ethnic groups, religions, countries, and social classes. Most wedding ceremonies involve an exchange of wedding vows by the couple, presentation of a gift (offering, ring(s), symbolic item, flowers, money), and a public proclamation of marriage by an authority figure or leader. Special wedding garments are often worn, and the ceremony is followed by a wedding reception. Music, poetry, prayer or readings from Scripture may also be incorporated in the ceremony. these are a good indication too... 
this probably isnt a wedding or funeral...

Not all weddings take place in churches and certainly not in either the Catholic or protestant faiths. |

Quote: "I now know I shouldn't have agreed to pick up the stag party without the right paperwork but I did so out of desperation.

I don't have a lot of sympathy for this kind of operator. |
