Most of the time, overturned trucks usually flip sideways. The vehicle overturns sideways when the vehicle enters a curve, turns sharply, turns suddenly sideways... In addition, the vehicle overturning can be due to the vehicle's tilt being too large. The vehicle's gravity usually acts in a straight line, but due to an inclined road, the gravity will be at an angle. The larger the deflection angle, the more likely it is that the vehicle will overturn.

There are many reasons why trucks overturn while on the road. Among them, there are some basic reasons as follows:

According to statistics, almost 40% of car overturns are due to driving at high speed. Bumpy, rough roads, large inclines, and steep roads are also one of the causes of accidents... If the vehicle is driving at high speed or is not careful when driving, it will easily overturn when the center of gravity is lost. .

Driving in the rain, slippery roads... is also one of the reasons why trucks overturn when the driver loses control. The majority of car accidents are caused by inattentive driving, lack of observation, alcohol use, carelessness, reckless driving...

To avoid unwanted accidents, drivers and car owners need to pay attention to certain rules as follows

Drivers should maintain a stable vehicle speed on the roads. The recommended safe speed of the vehicle on flat roads is 45 km/h. When the speed exceeds 50 km/h, you should not steer the steering wheel sharply or turn suddenly to avoid flipping the vehicle. At the same time, avoid using alcohol and stimulants when driving. Having a planned diet and sleeping regimen is also a necessary condition for drivers.
