that last one is the first rue MINI van I've seen in a long time....lol
Those are some nasty accidents. I actually considered applying for the local FD but as with everything I was wanting to be sure before I comited myself. That weekend I was the first car to stop at the sight of an accident on the interstate where a 8 year old boy was killed when she drunk dad ran into the back of a dead on the side of the road flatbed. I was miserable for weeks and decited I wouldn't be able to handle those kinda things.

This one cop is a subsitute at my school very often and is also a part time police officer. He is working on his teaching degree so he can quite being a cop. He says he would always be depressed because it is always so negative. He couldn't handle it.

Glad your mom is alright, darn suv's and their rolloverness!

In PA it's the law. If you do not carry insurance, you lose your car.

I ment most states do require you to have insurance but they don't require you to have insurance for damage to your own vehicle.

see this is why all rides should be dropped, and 22s on them.

Yeah, huge rims greatly increase your cars stopping ablility.
Playing with the suspention imporves handling.
You also accelerate much faster.

Glad to hear your mom is okay, ask her if she enjoyed the trip

Let this be a lesson to you all...

never pay off your vehicle! Once you mail in that last check you're toast!

Sonuva!!! I just paid off my Rodeo.

In most states (if not all) You have to have total covererage if you still have payments on the car. This prevents the bank from not getting their money. If you still owe on the car and get into a wreck and total the car. That insurance money goes to the back to cover what ever is remaining on the loan. You get what ever is left over.

That's what both AZ and IA require, when I totaled my first Rodeo, they paid off the rest of the loan then gave me the rest. Thank god the other driver was at 100% fault so my rates didn't go up

Why? In single car accidents and roll-overs SUVs are usually much more dangerous than cars.

Man, that's rough. Glad to hear your mom is ok. Something similar happened to a buddy of mine and his Explorer.

He was driving into work during the snow and hit a patch of ice... The car spun sideways and hit the lip between the road and an overpass (the steel plate). Ended up barrel rolling the car 8 times...... Noooo thanks!

Pictures like that should remind everyone to wear their seatbelts.

dumb****. suvs are built a hell of a lot stronger that a f'n car. and they have the same safety features. sorry but in case of a roll-over i would much rather be in a safer suv that a car that would scrunched up into some odd shape.

A "normal" car probally would not have rolled. SUV's don't belong in the hands of most drivers. They require extra care due to longer braking distances, higher centers of gravity, and lower tipover angles.

This is also why preformance driving classes should be manditory. Save your mom.... if mazda revitup comes near you, FORCE HER TO GO. It's the cheapest way to get some experience. It can only help.

I am glad she is ok. I hope she makes a more senceable choice on her next vehicle.

[let it be noted that I am not the first to insult anyone personally in this thread]

Insult me all you want cretin. Bypassing the cuss filters with *'s is stricke one, not having the intelligence to debate an issue and instead resorting to personal attacks is strike two.

Strike three is that you don't have a clue about what your saying. I'm not sure if the IIHS still let's you download the crash test videos, but go try. You'll be scraed out of your skull how poorly some SUVs perform in crashes. The worst was an Izuzu that literally folded in half during a 50mph offset crash. Even the best rated ones don't fare as well as midrated cars and passenger vehicles.

SUVs and other truck rated vehicles don't have to meet the same crashworthiness or rollover standards (nor are they counted in the same manner towards CAFE standards) as passenger vehicles to be allowed on the road. IMO a loophole that should have been closed years ago.
