Just found this story interesting since I had a classmate during sophomore year that died from this exact thing. Was a Ford Explorer, of course...Figure some of you may have kids old enough to drive so maybe this link will help you figure a safe vehicle

On the other hand, I drove an SUV when I was 16, and again from 19-21, and never got into an injury accident...

But Colorado's an awesome state! You receive innate powers there :) I had to go thru Colorado on I70 last year..man what a cool state.

Heh, when I was 16, I lived in Maryland, just outside of DC. 2nd SUV was in Colorado, which does roxor.

When I turned 17 and got my license, my parents gave me their old Jeep Cherokee. I almost flipped it that first day when it fishtailed in the rain. Took me a while to get the hang of it, but I learned to respect it. On the other hand, I let my friend drive it back from the beach one day a couple of weeks after he got his license, and he managed to flip it over (and onto the other side of the highway) within 5 minutes. Luckily, all three of us in the car had our seat belts on, which is not typical for stupid teenagers. Nobody was seriously hurt.

I used to work for a car rental agency, this one employee fliped over a brand new Ford SUV the second day on his job. Suffice it to say he was promptly released.
