What risk increases with a higher vehicle centre of gravity?
Correct answer: Tipping over on curves or uneven roads
Why
A high vehicle or high load raises the centre of gravity and reduces stability. Take curves more slowly, avoid abrupt steering and stay within the vehicle’s loading limits, especially on uneven ground.
