What use is Removing Seats in Minibuses , can someone explain.? Surely it being overweight that causes the Prob, same as any vehicle, not numbers.

Flexibility in load carrying I imagine. Got only 4 passengers, but want to take some freight too ? Like a scooter.

Remove seats, remove same number of passengers...Weight removed..

Yeah but then they just stand and you can get even more in then.

i think the idea behind it is that when a van crashes, as there are less people in it then less will die, thus bringing down the overall toll.

l don't see the probs Ace.

Depends on the advertised carrying weight of the vehicle and maybe being over weight regarding stability and the risk of roll over. Plus if folk are not crammed in heads may not crush heads in an accident..

That's more like it .For example aShips Lifeboat works on the heaviest passenger weight,not anorexic Vegetarians.Also they load far too much luggage in the rear and on the Roof .Watched them loading up yesterday ,hence the Post ,no way were they safe.[emoji604]

Yeah but there will be more vans on the road so the number of crashes will increase by the same factor.

I loaded up today Ace only wanted to do one trip not two a very logical decision.
