Driving Information
Driver Behavior
Driving is an important responsibility.
Driver behavior, the driving
environment, and the vehicle's design
all affect how well a vehicle performs.
Being aware of these factors can help
in understanding how the vehicle
handles and what can be done to
avoid many types of crashes, including
a rollover crash.
Most serious injuries and fatalities to
unbelted occupants can be reduced or
prevented by the use of seat belts. In a
rollover crash, an unbelted person is
significantly more likely to die than a
person wearing a seat belt. In
addition, avoiding excessive speed,
sudden or abrupt turns, and drunken
or aggressive driving can help make
trips safer and avoid the possibility of
a crash.
Driving Environment
Be prepared for driving in inclement
weather, at night, or during other
times where visibility or traction may be limited, such as on curves, slippery
roads, or hilly terrain. Unfamiliar
surroundings can also have hidden
hazards.
Vehicle Design
Utility vehicles have a significantly
higher rollover rate than other types
of vehicles. This is because they have
a higher ground clearance and a
narrower track or shorter wheelbase
than passenger cars, which makes
them more capable for off-road
driving. While these design
characteristics provide the driver with
a better view of the road, these
vehicles do have a higher center of
gravity than other types of vehicles.
A utility vehicle does not handle the
same as a vehicle with a lower center
of gravity, like a car, in similar
situations.
Safe driver behavior and
understanding of the environment can
help avoid a rollover crash in any type
of vehicle, including utility vehicles.
