As a comment our church insurance company has recently sent us an advisory
recommending not to purchase or to rent 15 passenger vans, due to the
problems
associated with roll overs. They just stopped short of telling us that we
could not....but gave us a laundry list of recommendations - Defensive Driver
Classes, speed restrictions, loading etc.
Another matter is the practical, most of us do not drive and know how the
larger vans handle loaded / unloaded, so those planning to drive may want to
practice ...
and remember it is quite different on the open road....or driving up/down to
Pikes Peak and Estees Natural Forest....can be quite unnerving ... something
about winding roads that only use boulders as guard rails.
