What Should Drivers Know About Rollover Crashes?
Rollover crashes can happen when a vehicle loses stability, leaves the roadway, or encounters an obstacle that changes its path. Sudden steering movements and excessive speed can increase the likelihood of losing control, particularly when a vehicle is traveling near the edge of the road. Drivers should maintain a controlled speed and make smooth steering adjustments.
Seat belts are especially important in rollover crashes because they help keep occupants inside the passenger compartment. Unrestrained occupants can face a greater risk of being thrown from the vehicle during an overturn. Every person in a vehicle should use the appropriate restraint on every trip.
Tire condition and proper inflation can also affect how a vehicle responds to steering and sudden changes in direction. Drivers should regularly check their tires and pay attention to changes in handling. Staying alert to roadway conditions and avoiding abrupt maneuvers can help reduce the risk of losing vehicle stability.
