15 passenger vans are are commonly used in Nevada and the rest of the U.S. to transport large groups of people and their cargo. Many businesses and organizations use these cargo vans on a regular basis, including churches and schools. These vehicles are very dangerous to the driver and passengers because they tend to be top heavy and the rear of the van extends too far over the rear wheels. On some 15 passenger vans the rear of the vehicles extends over four feet past the rear wheels making the vehicle very unstable. The combination of the vehicle being top heavy and the length of the rear make 15 passenger vans very likely to rollover and fishtail.

In a recent twelve year period, over 1,500 15 passenger vans were involved in accidents in the U.S., resulting in 1,111 deaths, 684 of which occurred in single vehicle accidents. Of these van accidents, over 650 were single vehicle accidents resulting in 349 rollovers.

Many states have rules and restrictions pertaining to the use of cargo vans to transport school aged children. In the state of Nevada children may not be transported to or from school in 15 passenger vans, although they may be transported in the vans to and from school related events.
