 accident reconstruction traffic investigation newsletter
In fact, certain five-star vehicles, such as sports cars, may have a higher number of rollovers per 100 registered vehicles than certain three-star vehicles, such as minivans, due to the aggressive way in which the vehicle is driven and/or the age and skill of the driver.
A vehicle’s SSF is calculated using the formula SSF=T/2H, where T is the "track width" of the vehicle and H is the "height of the center of gravity" of the vehicle.
Many of the higher-riding vehicles of previous model years are being redesigned to ride lower and with a wider track width, thus improving their rollover resistance and yielding a higher SSF rating.

All Star caused its petition and an accompanying summons to be served on both the DOT and the attorney general's office on May 28th.
All Star maintains, however, that its service on the DOT was sufficient because the statutory service requirements are ambiguous when applied to the present facts, and thus, we must permit All Star's petition to be considered on its merits because it could reasonably conclude that the DOT was the proper agency to be served.
And, because it was the DOT that decided to seek revocation of All Star's motor vehicle dealer license and to deny its renewal, All Star could reasonably conclude that the DOT, a "department" and thus an "agency," was the proper entity to name as respondent and serve under §227.53(1).

The ratings are based on vehicle performance with respect to occupant injury criteria gathered in crash tests and are presented using one to five stars, one star for the highest risk and five for the lowest.
The manufacturers of the one-star vehicles generally have improved the current versions of the equivalent vehicles to the two-star level, but we believe the one-star rating ceiling would be stringent enough to discourage companies from returning to old design practices or from importing less advanced vehicles.
Vehicles are obtained with popular equipment, typical of a rental fleet, and the equipment with possible influence on SSF will be included in the vehicle description when the rating is reported.
