Why Are Seven-Seater Vehicles Prohibited from Highways?
1 Answers
Seven-seater vehicles are prohibited from highways for the following reasons: 1. Generally, seven-seater and larger passenger vehicles have lower safety configurations. For example, some minivans and coaches are not even equipped with the most basic features like ABS or airbags. In the event of an accident, this could lead to mass casualties and severe accidents. 2. Highway driving precautions require controlling speed. It is well-known that highways have excellent road surfaces, leading many drivers to exceed speed limits. This is neither economical nor safe. Higher speeds result in greater centrifugal braking distances and poorer vehicle handling stability. Seven-seater vehicles have significant inertia, making them particularly dangerous.
