Limo driver arrested for drink driving for the SIXTH time

Postby ezlimorentals » Mon Feb 27, 2012 7:50 pm

A licensed limousine driver arrested for drink driving in a company car is discovered to already have five previous DUI convictions.

Richard Chenoweth, 57, was caught drink driving, swerving and driving over the speed limit in a company limousine in Marco Island, Florida.

And after checking his records police found that Mr Chenoweth, who worked for Classic Transportation limousine hire company, had five prior DUI convictions in Minnesota.

Police pulled over and arrested Mr Chenoweth who was driving at 45mph on the 30mph limit North Barfield road close to midnight last Wednesday night.

Despite his five drink driving convictions Mr Chenoweth was granted the licence required for people who drive taxis and limousines in Collier County.

He managed to pass the background check to obtain the 'hack licence' needed to carry passengers as checks for DUI convictions only go back three years and all of Mr Chenoweth's DUI convictions were from the 1980's and 1990's. The background checks go back 20 years for murder and 10 years for a misdemeanor or felony.

Last year Ronald Doino employed Mr Chenoweth as a part time driver for his limousine company, Classic Transportation, after making sure he had passed the background check required by Collier County.

"We were going on what Collier County does. Collier County states and recommends that every driver needs a hack licence. I believe it should be tougher. Everybody should feel secure in a vehicle," Mr Doino told Wink News.

in England and Wales the checks go back to when you were 10 years old. No conviction is ever spent for licenced drivers.

These kind of drivers should be punished and their driving license should be cancelled, I don,t know why they take too much risk ?

This is not a good news, a limo driver should not do this type of things and while driving drinking is illegal we all know that rule.
