A review of the literature on the role of vehicle handling in accident causation shows that there has been much conjecture regarding the link between vehicle handling and accidents. Little of a defensible nature is apparent other than vehicle size seems to correlate with accident experience. An examination of available mass accident data also shows this apparent size effect as well as some correlations between (1) vehicle track width and rollover accidents, (2) driver age and size of car, (3) size of car and accidents on curves, and (4) driver age and accidents on curves.
