TRAILER TRAINING
Towing any kind of trailer or caravan places very different demands on your personal driving skills. The performance and manoeuvrability of your vehicle will be very different depending on the size and weight of the trailer. Any towing journey requires additional planning taking weather, wider turning circles and increased braking distances into consideration.
