Safe motoring!
The Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators (CCMTA) review shows 15-passenger vans are safe for road and highway use when they are maintained, loaded and driven properly, and their drivers are properly licensed. Read the CCMTA’s guidelines on the correct maintenance, driving and loading requirements.
