Absolutely - it's easier to overturn a car or van than some might think.


Some years ago, a colleague's car skidded laterally on black ice, at
relatively low speed.
The worst part came when the offside wheels contacted the kerb on the
"wrong" side of the road (mercifully, it was early on a Saturday morning
and there was no other traffic). The car simply cartwheeled to its
offside onto the grassed verge and then onto its roof.
She climbed out after undoing her seatbelt and had a few scratches, but
was otherwise unharmed.


Yes, this particularly appears to be a problem with German cars.


Does it?

I'm fairly certain this was a Japanese car.
