What is the best way to prevent a vehicle from rolling over while turning?

Keeping cargo as close to the ground as possible and driving slowly around turns is the best strategy for preventing a vehicle from rolling over during a turn. This approach lowers the center of gravity, making the vehicle more stable and less likely to tip over. A lower center of gravity helps maintain balance, particularly in larger vehicles which are more prone to rollovers due to their height and weight distribution.

Additionally, driving slowly allows for better control and reduces the likelihood of a sudden shift that could cause the vehicle to lose stability. When making turns, momentum can easily shift from one side to the other, and at higher speeds, this can significantly increase the risk of rollover. By driving at reduced speeds, drivers can manage that momentum more effectively and navigate turns more safely, further minimizing the risk of a rollover incident.

In contrast, speeding up while turning can increase the centrifugal force, making rollovers more likely. Turning sharply creates an immediate shift that can be destabilizing, especially in taller vehicles. Using lower gears may help in certain situations by providing more control, but it does not address the core issues of center of gravity and speed.
