Your Driving, the Road and

Your Vehicle

Whenever we drive, we’re taking on an important

responsibility. This is true for any motor

vehicle -- passenger car, van, truck or sport utility.

Driver behavior, the driving environment, and the

vehicle’s design all affect how well a vehicle performs.

But statistics show that the most important factor, by far,

is how we drive. Knowing how these three factors work

together can help you understand how your vehicle

handles and what you can do to avoid many types of

crashes, including a rollover crash.

Driver Behavior

The single most important thing is this: everyone in

the vehicle, including the driver, should buckle up.

See “Safety Belts” in the Index. In fact, most

serious injuries and fatalities to unbelted occupants

can be reduced or prevented by the use of safety belts.

In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly

more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt.

In addition, avoiding excessive speed, sudden or abrupt

turns and drunken or aggressive driving can help make

trips safer and avoid the possibility of a crash, especially

a rollover crash. This section provides many useful tips

to help you drive more safely.

Driving Environment

You can also help avoid a rollover or other type of crash

by being prepared for driving in inclement weather,

at night, or during other times where visibility or

traction may be limited (such as on curves, slippery

roads or hilly terrain).
