A limousine is a luxury sedan that is much larger than a normal motor vehicle and is used to transport people to and from funerals, musical events, business meetings, dinner, plays, nights on the town, sports events and much more. Limousines can hold more than the normal motor vehicle and hold, sometimes up to 25 people, and has amenities such as a bar, a moon roof, a coach, a bed and sometimes even a pool if the vehicle is large enough. Limousines are no strangers to accidents though. Because the vehicles are so long they take up a lot more room on the road and can be difficult to maneuver if the driver has not been properly trained to do so. Limousines can be owned by individuals, companies, government officials and the government itself. As with all other vehicles that are on the roads of the country, limousine drivers still have to follow the rules of the road and can be held liable or found negligent if they cause accidents with their vehicle.
