For your safety, the safety of YOUR CHILD at a Prom or Dance, Graduation,

papers & permits/stickers. Check them THOROUGHLY !!!

Check for a "Public Carrier" Safety Inspection Sticker on Windshield

Make Sure The License Plate # on Safety Inspection Sticker Matches The Plate On The Car.

If you experience any problems with a Company not complying with above Laws,
Call Your Local USDOT Office, FMCSA in Washington or "call in" the license plate number to
ANY State or Local Police Dept. or RI Public Utilities Office
ASK ME FOR ALL THESE PAPERS, I WILL SHOW YOU WHAT TO LOOK FOR

These are Serious Safety Violations !
