Passenger vans are frequently used to transport groups of people to various functions for churches, schools, sports events and many other events. Sadly, the size, center of gravity and weight distributions of these vehicles make them prone to roll over when a driver makes a sharp turn at speed to avoid an accident or debris on the road.
