The following are a few tips to help prevent a rollover car accident.

How to Prevent a Rollover Car Accident

Over 10,000 people are killed every year in a rollover car accident. An accident is considered a rollover whenever the vehicle lands on its side or roof. With the increase of SUVs and light weight trucks being driven there has also been an increase in rollover accidents. Here are some tips to prevent a rollover car accident.

Know How Your Vehicle Reacts

When driving a tall vehicle such as an SUV or truck, avoid taking fast or sharp turns. To better understand how your vehicle reacts, consider practicing turns in a parking lot.

Avoid Distracted Driving

This can never be stressed enough. Never drive distracted! There are hundreds of statistics proving it is never a good idea to be on your cell phone, eating or doing any other activity that keeps you from paying attention to the road while you are driving. Sudden changes or surprises happen often while driving and are often the reason for many rollover accidents.

Get Extra Driving Practice

If possible, consider taking a driving course to refresh your driving skills. Getting a few extra hours of practice could prepare you for an emergency.

Drive Defensively

Expect the unexpected as a rule of thumb. Anything can happen at a moment’s notice on the road. Always be prepared by paying close attention and reacting appropriately.
