PAX is the number of passengers allowed on cargo deck.

 

Excluding front passengers and driver.

When a person rides a bike or horse, no seatbelt is used. These workers don't use seatbelts since LTA says no need. The reporter is using the correct word

 

More importantly, without seatbelts these lorry passengers will roll and pile on top of one another if the lorry brakes hard at the high speeds these lorries are driven wrecklessly while TPs don't really bother them.

Driving recklessly = big problem.

What's the difference between SAF 3 tonner driving at slow speed with NSF & regulars behind compare to these lorries, besides MT tires configuration?

 

These lorries should be driving at slow speed, not speeding - There are human at the back of the lorries.
