WARNING
Incorrect trailer towing can cause loss of vehicle control and serious personal injury.
Towing a trailer and transporting heavy or bulky items can change the way the vehicle handles and increase the braking distance.
Always drive carefully and think ahead. Brake earlier than in normal driving.
Adapt your speed and driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions. Reduce your speed, particularly when going
downhill.
Accelerate carefully and gently. Avoid abrupt and sudden driving and braking manoeuvres.
Take special care when overtaking. Reduce your speed immediately if the trailer shows even the slightest sign of snaking.
Never try to stop a trailer from snaking by increasing your speed.
Always obey speed limits. In some areas speed limits for vehicles towing trailers are lower than for vehicles without trailers.
