What is the risk of light trucks having a high center of gravity?
I’m studying for my permit test and there’s one question I’m stuck on. It asks ‘Light trucks have a high center of gravity which increases their susceptibility to_______.’ I’m not sure of the answer. What is the risk of light trucks having a high center of gravity?

We can help you with this one: light trucks have a high center of gravity which increases their susceptibility to roll overs.
Trucks
are heavier, have bigger tires, and have higher suspension than sedans or SUVs. This raises their center of gravity and makes a roll over more likely to happen. As the name suggests, a roll over is when a car’s wheels leave the road and the entire car tips and rolls over.
To avoid a roll over, drive the speed limit, make sure your tires are balanced and inflated, and slow down for turns.
Once you pass your driver’s test, you’ll need
car insurance
on your vehicle. Let insurance broker Jerry
help you find great coverage at a fair price. A fast, free download with this super app
will give you access to competitive quotes, personalized recommendations, and more. View full answer
