Another bank holiday, another towing opportunity!

Towing a trailer is different from driving a car.  A vehicle with a trailer is longer and slower.  Accelerating and braking take longer and handling and steering are differently from when you drive a solo vehicle.  

Don't assume other road users have seen you, let alone your trailer. Even the most conscientious of drivers make mistakes.  What we see mainly depends on what we expect to see.   There is a great deal of research and evidence which shows that we often don’t see the unexpected.  We all have experiences of being surprised when we have failed to spot something that we should have seen.  There are also situations when your trailer is obscured - at junctions and busy roundabouts, by buildings or hedges, or simply when they are low and out of the eye line of other road users.

Sometimes other drivers may not appreciate that you're towing and so won't see your trailer or appreciate that you need more room and take longer to accelerate and brake.

Safe T-Signs help other road users drive as well as they can too by helping to alert them that you are towing and know what to expect - that you are longer than just the vehicle and that your ability to steer, accelerate and brake is different from a solo vehicle. 

"I invested in the signs for safety reasons. I was negotiating a large island with my Discovery and twin axle tourer. Some idiot hadn’t realised I was towing a nearly 8m long caravan and tried to slot in behind my car and then realised his mistake. I had to take exceptional driving manoeuvres to avoid a collision. I can express the importance that these signs make to road safety, especially when towing coming out of side roads on to main roads, even in country lanes especially where there are motor bikes as they are on top of you in no time at all. Whenever I tow I make sure these signs are fitted. I would rather be seen than somebody not realise that I’m towing until it is too late. It is a possible life saving product."
