Reply #153: Its not like they roll over when the driver turns the wheel fast.

Its mainly when they lose control of the vehicle, making it fishtail, when its sliding sideways all that top heavy momentum will make it roll. I'v seen this happen when someone in a small Toyota SUV veered off the road, she over corrected trying to get the SUV out of the grass too fast, the tires lost traction, it fishtailed all over the place and then rolled over. This is also usually the most common roll over accident with a truck or SUV, the driver doesn't pay attention to where there going, over correct then lose control. It happens all the time.

The problem is that alot of people dont know how to handle a big vehicle under emergency situations. I'v actually tried some quick maneuvers in my Dakota pickup truck in an empty parking lot to see what its limits are. It handles good for a truck but I can definitely feel it being top heavy, but when driven normally it almost feels like a car.
