That wasn't even on the main road, it was the parking lot road in front of Five Guys. I'm amazed at how many rollovers there are around here.

People come flying up that road and people turning out of the shopping center pull out willy-nilly. And yes, there are lots of rollovers and seems way too many for this area.

Me too, how in the hell do you roll a car there?

I drove down Pegg Rd one day and on the nice straight flat part was a car on its top. I was the first person to see it as there was nothing around, a girl was standing beside it on her cell telling someone she had some car trouble.

SUVs have a higher center of gravity and tend to roll easier than a car that sits lower to the ground. Since SUVs are preferred over passenger cars nowadays we get more rollovers in minor accidents.

Thing is, I've not seen this many rollovers elsewhere. The SUVs of the 90s were also far more likely to rollover than the newer ones.

And I can understand rollovers at speed, you get inertia going and with a little push, over it goes. These happen at relatively low speed. In a frikkin parking lot. How do you do that?

Remind me not to get a Nissan Titan. Even considering it was a rollover, it was pretty squashed.
