Data collected by NHTSA shows that nearly 90 percent of single-vehicle rollovers occur when a vehicle leaves the roadway, digging its tires into soft soil or striking a curb or guardrail that typically "trips" the vehicle.

Rollover warning systems notify drivers when they are traveling too fast for an approaching curve, given their vehicles operating characteristics. This has been primarily a focus of heavy trucks.
