Limo Seatbelts

While riding in a limousine makes us feel like the real world is far away and the normal rules of everyday life don’t apply, the rules are still there and can get you into a lot of trouble if you ignore them.

When you hire a limousine, you are generally going to a special event such as a wedding, prom or fancy dinner date. You are therefore wearing your best frock and are being very careful about where you sit and stand to ensure that your special outfit doesn’t get ruined.

Therefore you may be reluctant to put on your seatbelt when you get into the limousine and you may also feel as though you don’t have to, as what is the point of having all of this extra space if you have to be restrained in your seat?

However, the normal seatbelt rules do apply when riding in a limousine and you and the limo hire company can get into a lot of trouble if all of the available seatbelts are not in use. While limousines come in various shapes and sizes, at some stage during their stretching, additional seatbelts should have been added with regards to the passenger laws of the area and the number of extra seats added.

If limo passengers are caught not wearing their seatbelt, the penalties differ depending on the area, but all are important to keep in mind when you next ride in a limousine. For example, in some areas, you will be fined and may even lose demerit points off of your own license even though you were the passenger.

Often the limo hire companies also have a statement in their contract that they are exempt from liability for fines or penalties which result from their passengers not wearing their seatbelts. Therefore, the responsibility may fall to you to protect yourself and your fellow passengers, not only from being hurt by not wearing a seatbelt, but also being penalised too.

Therefore, next time you are travelling in a limousine, make sure you find out about your responsibilities with regards to the seatbelts and the liability of the limo hire company in case of an accident or spot check.
