Why are large tall vehicles such as tractor trailer trucks and large vans more likely to roll or tip over on sharp curves than smaller cars?
This is because of weight distribution and size. A large tall vehicle has a higher center of gravity and is therefore more unstable than a smaller car which would have a lower center of gravity.
Semi trucks sometimes tip because of the items in the trailer moving to one side. When that happens, the truck tips.
Vans are not as likely to tip at highway speeds. Vans would tip at an estimated 90-mph.

Cuts, curves and gaps.
What is relative size of Cuba?
Cuba is slightly smaller then Pennsylvania.
Superelevation and Widening of pavements on horizontal curves?
Superelevation refers to the banking of a roadway at a curve to counteract the lateral acceleration experienced by vehicles, improving safety and comfort. It involves raising the outer edge of the road relative to the inner edge, which helps vehicles maintain speed without skidding. Widening of pavements on horizontal curves is implemented to provide additional lateral space for vehicles, reducing the risk of off-tracking and enhancing maneuverability, especially for larger vehicles. Both superelevation and widening are critical design elements in ensuring safe navigation through curves.
What is banking curves?
Banked curves are the sloped turn ways usually on high speed roads (i.e. highways, race car tracks). This is to increase the centrifugal force(gravity) on the car so it does not skid off the road.
How exactly are french curves designed?
They aren't. French curves were handmade to make smooth curves on hand-drawn drawings. They had no real formulae and every maker made many with smaller and larger radii in all sorts of sizes. Big ones were used for ships hull curves. There are ways of making similar curves with any CAD program, and that's how it's done today.

How does friction affect the stability and safety of vehicles navigating banked curves?
Friction plays a crucial role in the stability and safety of vehicles navigating banked curves. It helps to keep the vehicle from sliding off the curve by providing the necessary grip between the tires and the road surface. Without enough friction, the vehicle may lose control and skid off the curve, leading to potential accidents. Therefore, sufficient friction is essential for maintaining stability and ensuring safety while navigating banked curves.
When driving on rural roads what should you proceed with caution for?
hidden driveways and intersections with vehicles pulling out, animals, pedestrians, bicyclists, oncoming cars, sudden curves in the road.
What is the difference in hockey stick curves?
The bigger the curve, the easier it is to raise the puck. With a smaller curve, you have to use more power to raise it (but not much more). With smaller curves, you have better puck control, and a better backhand. Usually center's have smaller curves because they have to use there backhand more, and wingers have bigger curves.
