When out looking for an SUV (sport utility vehicle) you have to remember it is NOT a car. Most bad things you hear such as rolling over, tipping, uses a lot of gas...ect. When vehicles sit higher then a car, the suspension is designed for a higher center of gravity which gives you less control of the handling capability when turning.

Most cases, when driving straight ahead at higher speeds is no problem. The problem is an SUV must come to a slower speed before the turn to make up top heavy feeling and higher center of gravity. You will notice a huge difference on how easy it is to make a turn without the leaning effect.

Cars on the other hand are closer to the ground and the steering and suspension are designed to control the vehicle with a comfortable, tight feel. Most cars weigh less then SUV's and can come to a stop sooner. The bottom line is to be careful and don't press your luck. Follow these tips for a safer driving experience.
 

1.Apply brakes a few seconds sooner heavier the vehicle longer the stopping distance needed.

2.When approaching a turn, do most of the stopping before the start of the bend.

3.Never ever drink and drive!

4.Turn and look to see if it's clear, before you turn steering wheel.

Drive safe , be alert and obey speed limits is the best way to avoid an accident.
