This short video could save your life

With the festive season quickly approaching many people will be loading up trailers and heading off on holiday. Make sure you load your trailer correctly or it could endanger lives.

The trailer, or any other vehicle being towed, and the road behind, should also always be visible to the driver. Extra side mirrors may be needed that extend to give a good view. Also give extra attention to overtaking (especially on hills and gradients), remembering that you have an extra load that must also pass the vehicle in front. Read more about towing safety.

Another very important thing to take into account is the balance point and loading of the trailer. This video clearly illustrates how an improperly balanced trailer with too mach weight at the back can swerve out of control.
