Which vehicle type has the poorest static stability factor?

  • A.A city car, whose very short wheelbase makes it particularly prone to tipping over during emergency manoeuvres
  • B.A tall narrow sport utility vehicle
  • C.A low wide sports car, whose short suspension travel raises the centre of gravity relative to the track width
  • D.A saloon car

Answer: B

A high centre of gravity combined with a narrow track gives sport utility vehicles and vans the lowest values and the highest rollover rates in accident statistics. Sports cars have the highest values because they are low and wide. Wheelbase affects pitch and directional stability rather than rollover.
