Abstract:This fact sheet, NHTSA Facts: Summer 1996, describe traffic safety tips for driving sport utility vehicles. Because sport utility vehicles have a higher center of gravity, making them more top heavy than cars, they handle and maneuver differently than automobiles. The risk of rollovers is greater in sport utility vehicles than in most passenger cars. Sharp turns and abrupt maneuvers may cause the sport utility vehicle to go out of control, or to rollover. Manufacturers are required to place an advisory sticker on the dashboard of each sport utility vehicle which warns the driver that the vehicle handles differently than a passenger car.
