  4. Are 15 Passenger vans truly unsafe?
    • Yes. Because of the high risk of vehicle rollover and the number of lawsuits brought against churches and schools from accident victims, some of the major insurance companies are no longer insuring these vans. Legislators are implementing requirements to phase them out as passenger vans over the next several years.
