I never get how people driving at medium speeds (for Germany at least) drive that bad that they roll over their car that easy.

So whats going on here? Is she turning and possibly braking in a way that this happens? Why not hit the brakes hard holding the wheel and taking the hit as would (often) make sense?

    I used to live on a narrow road (you could pass another car but you'd need to squeeze into the bushes a bit) in the country and my kitchen was at the front of the house so I could see the road while I ate breakfast. This backstory makes it sound like I'm about to launch into a recipe, but no. One day before school I saw a car go past at like a walking pace and five seconds later one came down the hill at the same sort of speed but on its roof. It kept sliding for about 50m. I have no idea how they managed to turn it but it was funny as hell. The driver was just looking at me upside down all the time.

    It looks like she is driving an older version SUV. They were notoriously top heavy and easier to roll.

    And a lot of people don't realize just how domed the average road is to prevent water buildup. There can be significant differential between kerb and the peak of the road depending on speed limit and curve. We're just used to it.

    Thanks for the answers and yes I think there is a significant difference in the build of the street here and there. This, in addition with the top heavy suv might explain it.

    I even wonder if these were allowed over here as the safety standards are quite different (eg sparing us from the cybertruck).
