Overloading is dangerous and illegal

Our private cars have a legal limit on the number of passengers it can
seat. Going above the approved number is illegal. The school buses or
private buses, tour coaches, pickups and commercial vehicles too have a
legal limit as well. And there is a very good reason for it other than
graciousness. It is safety.
 
Often there were reports of ferries or boats sinking because of
overloading.
