Re: Volvo rollover ALL

Yeah, but you're a guy. :-)

About 2 years ago, someone cut off a grandma driving a Lexus LS400 on the freeway, and she panicked and managed to get the car upside down, fatally injuring her 12 year old granddaughter.

Actually, reports of rollovers are commonplace on the morning traffic reports here the San Francisco Bay area. They usually don't say what the vehicles are. I often wonder how you can roll a car in commute traffic, but I would speculate that the scenario goes something like this:

1. Bay Area traffic has become hideous, so that people get up earlier and earlier to avoid the crunch. Result- lots of sleep deprived drivers.

2. SUVs extremely popular.

3. Half asleep driver is crusing along at 55-60 and suddenly comes upon stopped traffic. Can't stop in time, swerves. Over they go.
