ROLLOVER CRASH ATTORNEY IN CHICAGO URGES SAFE DRIVING
Rollover crashes have a higher fatality rate than other types of car crashes. Safercar.gov makes the following suggestions for minimizing risk and injury due to a rollover:
- Tire Pressure: Improperly inflated and worn tires could affect your ability to maintain control of your vehicle, which is the most important factor in preventing rollover crashes. Additionally, worn tires cause a vehicle to be more difficult to handle on wet or slippery pavement. If your tires are not properly inflated, there is a greater risk of worn tires.
- Loading: Check with your vehicle's owner's manual to determine the maximum safe load and where the load should be distributed. Additional cargo in or on your car may affect its center of gravity.
- Know Proper Maneuvering
- Maintain Control and Avoid Panic-like Steering
- Use Caution on Rural Roads: 75% of rollovers occur on rural roads.
Moreover, do not forget to wear your seatbelt!
