NHTSA launches new tests to measure, rate light-vehicle rollover risk

NHTSA's rollover resistance rating is based on an at-rest laboratory measurement known as the Static Stability Factor, which determines how "top-heavy" a vehicle is, and the results of a driving maneuver, called the fishhook, that tests whether a vehicle is vulnerable to tipping. (REUTERS)
