Accidents often happen because someone else made a mistake. Sometimes accidents can occur due to your own carelessness. Recently, in one such accident, a Mahindra Scorpio-N overturned and fell 15 feet off the road. However, thanks to the Scorpio-N’s sturdy build quality, all 7 passengers of this SUV were safe.

How do you avoid rollover accidents?
Many people overestimate the likelihood of a vehicle being involved in a rollover accident. However, this is a very common type of accident that happens on Indian roads. To become a more experienced driver, you should know how to prevent the vehicle from getting into a rollover situation.
To avoid rollover accidents involving cars and SUVs, drivers should first ensure that they drive attentively and cautiously. This includes focusing on the road and minimizing distractions.
Drivers should also be aware of potential hazards, especially around curves and on uneven terrain. Another very overlooked aspect is maintaining proper tire pressure. This is because under-inflation can affect traction and stability, increasing the risk of a rollover.
In addition, regular maintenance checks should be carried out. This includes brake inspections and suspension maintenance. Car owners should always ensure that the vehicle is in optimal condition to cope with all driving conditions.
Additional tips
More importantly, drivers should adjust their driving speed when navigating curves to avoid rollover accidents, especially when driving vehicles on highways and country roads. Driving slower reduces the risk of loss of control, especially in top-heavy vehicles such as SUVs.
Finally, overloading the vehicle with passengers or cargo should be avoided. Exceeding the weight limits can lead to destabilization of the vehicle, especially during sudden maneuvers. Even weight distribution is key to reducing the risk of a rollover accident.
