The force of a turn spreads over the wide, instead of the narrow end, when you're driving towards the two wheels. You have to be more careful with trying to brake into a turn tho.

Polaris makes a "Slingshot" vehicle in that configuration, it looks like fun. From just looking at and sitting in one someone was trying to sell, I was concerned with its balance at speed. It felt light and as if it would be easy to put into an unrecoverable spin. Never got to drive it, alas.
