A car’s stability can be affected by its center of gravity. Glue together two car cutouts – one of a modern 2008 design – the other of an old fashioned higher style car – to cardboard. Press a thumbtack into each , to indicate the center of gravity. Suspend a small weight from each tack. Stand the cutouts side-by-side on a stick , pivoted on one end to a sheet of heavy cardboard. Tilt the cardboard back so the cars will not fall.
Now raise the free end of the stick and watch the threads that mark the line from the cars center of gravity to the center of the earth. ( It may be necessary to roughen the stick to keep the cars from sliding) As long as a thread remains inside the car base, the car will remain upright. When it moves outside the car, the car will overturn. Consequently, you can see that a lowered center of gravity, lowers the risk of a highway roll-over.
