 In a "Times-Union" story, other limousine company operators around the state questioned how Prestige was able to continue operations with all the violations it had accumulated and the lack of proper permits; in their experience the state was diligent in enforcing its regulations.One owner said it was his understanding that if more than 20 percent of an operator's vehicles have been declared unserviceable, the state can force it to cease operations, an order only a court can override.Records kept by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, which also has authority over limousine operators, showed that Prestige had 80 percent of its vehicles unserviceable at the time of the accident.
