passenger cars. This vehicle design feature causes this type of vehicle to be
more likely to rollover. And, utility vehi
cles have a significantly higher rollover
rate than other types of vehicles.

allowing you to anticipate problems.

cause the vehicle to rollover.

ance and narrower tread in relation to the height of its center of gravity to
