Prestige Limousine has been criticized for maintaining vehicles rife with violations and for employing a driver lacking a commercial licence.
The limousine that ran a stop sign at a T-intersection was cited for code violations Sept. 4, including a problem with the antilock brake system malfunction indicator system.
Four of the Gansevoort, New York-based company’s limos were cited for 22 maintenance violations this year, though none were deemed critical.
