Inspection must be done by a certified mechanic and the results of the inspection must be submitted to the Department for review and approval. Inspections which reveal that any of a limousine carrier's vehicles or group of vehicles are not in safe working order at the sole discretion of the Department may result in that vehicle or those vehicle(s) being disqualified from use by the limousine carrier and the limousine carrier being assessed any penalty authorized by law, including but not limited to the certificate of the limousine carrier being denied, suspended, or revoked and/or civil or criminal penalties.(2) Except to the extent prohibited by law, the Department may require limousine carriers and/or their limousines, any subset of their limousines, or any individual limousine, to undergo additional safety inspections in accordance with terms imposed by the Department. Failure by a limousine carrier to comply with such safety inspections, or the failure of a limousine carrier's limousine or limousines to satisfactorily pass any such safety inspections authorized by law may result in that vehicle or those vehicle being disqualified from use by the limousine carrier and the limousine carrier being assessed any penalty authorized by law, including but not limited to the certificate of the limousine carrier being suspended or revoked and/or civil or criminal penalties.Ga.
