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

●
passenger cars. This vehicle design feature causes this type of vehicle to be
more likely to rollover. And, utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover
rate than other types of vehicles.
An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a better view of the road
●
allowing you to anticipate problems.

●
any more than low-slung sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily
under off-road conditions. Therefore, sharp turns at excessive speeds may
cause the vehicle to rollover.
