Safe T-Signs let other
road users see that you’re towing – even when they don’t see your trailer. Place them on your car doors before you start
your journey then peel them off when you get there. Safe T-Signs are invaluable if you're towing
your caravan or simply taking a trailer to the local refuse site.
Here are some of the questions we get asked about using Safe T-Signs.
Frequently Asked Questions
People can see I’m towing - why do I need a Safe T-Sign?
What we see mainly depends on what we expect to see. There's a great deal of evidence which shows that we often don’t see the unexpected.
All of us have experienced being surprised when we have failed to spot
something that we should have seen.
There are also many situations when trailers are hidden from other
road users. For example, where the
vehicle is pulling out of a junction or onto a traffic island or at night. Safe T-Signs help by giving other road users
extra information so that they know you're towing, even when they can’t or
don’t see the trailer.
Can Safe T-Signs be used on all cars and vehicles?
Safe T signs work on vehicles with steel doors, this is nearly all
vehicles.
Safe T-Signs don't stick to aluminium or plastic doors or door panels
and body work which has been 'filled' following body repair.
Are magnetic signs safe to use on the roads and on my paintwork?
Magnetic car door signs have been used on cars for many years. They are trialled and safe up to 70mph. They won’t damage your paintwork. Safe T-Signs come with instructions to help
you get the most out of them and to use them safely.
Are towing accidents a problem?
On average vehicles which tow light trailers are involved in more than
four personal injury accidents every day in Britain. At busy periods the figure
is likely to be much higher. There is some indication that tow
combinations are slightly more likely to be involved in severe accidents
involving death or severe injury. Also,
the overwhelming majority of all accidents take place at a junctions where
drivers who are towing are particularly vulnerable.
I have a motor home and I tow my car behind it. Can I use a Safe T-Sign?
If you have metal doors on your mobile home then they can be used in
the same way as for a car or any other vehicle. A number of our customer have used Safe
T-Signs with motor homes because they are aware that other drivers
don’t expect to see a car towed behind a motor home.
Are Safe T-Signs visible in the dark?
Safe T-Signs are particularly helpful if you are towing in the
evenings and at night as they are highly reflective. Safe T-Signs really stand
out in the dark and let other drivers know that you are towing and to expect a
trailer to follow your vehicle.
Why do I need Safe T-Signs - my insurers pick up the bill if I have an
accident?
Accidents can lead to death and serious injury. All of us should do all we can to prevent
road accidents taking place. Accidents
involving trailers tend to have greater consequences for more people. They can cause hours of delay for other
drivers, even when they involve no other vehicles and you may lose valuable and
irreplaceable possessions.
