Dunno. Maybe the limo operators are starting to worry. Or maybe they'll apply
for, or already have applied for exemptions.

I haven't seen a limo in a while but are the driver's cabin windows tinted or is
it only the ones in the back that are tinted?

If the latter, then it would be the same as any van or truck that's out there
which don't allow drivers a clear view of outside of the vehicle from behind the
driver.

Considering the number of people fined for speeding or DUI twice in the same
day, apparently quite a few!

I remember my old man getting fined for having a blown headlamp globe
but he didn't get a canary.
That was at least 40yrs ago (he's been dead almost 20yrs) so the rules
have probably changed since then.

The problem stemmed from when the merging law was changed
it was for the situation where two lanes merge to one and no dividing
line is present, the law states that you must give way to the vehicle
ahead, no matter what lane it is in

The more dense population took this to mean that ANY merge
and for a while I spent a lot of time correcting people
at the same time the law regarding lines on the road denoting a certain
sigh(stop-solid line and Giveway-broken line)in the case of the sign
missing or not practical to place a sign there

As far as I know George, that is still the rule here.
