Safety is Essential

1. Do not exceed the maximum towing weight for your vehicle
   
   
2. Keep sufficient distance between you and other vehicles on the road
   
   
3. Ensure that all passengers are wearing their seatbelts before setting off
   
   
4. Drive with care – do not overtake or undertake other drivers, especially when visibility is low
   
   
5. Take extra caution when driving over bridges or through tunnels 
   
   
6. If you experience any problems, pull over as soon as it is safe to do so and contact your local police station immediately
   
   
7. Make sure you have a caravan license to tow your caravan
   
   
8. When driving, stay in the right-hand lane and keep a safe distance from the car in front of you
   
   
9. Always use indicators when changing lanes or turning corners 
   
   
10. If you are towing a trailer with your caravan, make sure it is adequately secured for safety reasons 
    
    
11. Never exceed the speed limit – if there’s no sign saying otherwise, follow the national speed limit shown on signs at roadworks or temporary speed limits set up by police officers
    
    
12. Keep an eye out for cyclists who may be riding alongside cars and vans before overtaking them as they can’t see what’s coming from behind them; also, watch out for pedestrians who might step into your path without looking first!
    
    
13. Research the best routes to take for your caravan
    
    
14. Check the height of bridges and tunnels, as well as any other obstacles along your route
    
    
15. Know what you can tow with a caravan – this includes cars, motorcycles, bicycles, and even pedestrians 
    
    
16. Make sure you have a good quality tow ball hitch on both vehicles before starting out 
    
    
17. Don’t forget to pack lots of food and water in case there’s an emergency stop-over!
    
    
18. Be prepared for extreme weather conditions by packing appropriate clothing and blankets
    
    
19. Ensure that all passengers wear seatbelts while travelling in vehicles (unless exempted), including those sitting in the back seats of large vehicles such as buses and coaches where belts are not fitted as standard equipment 
    
    
20. Install emergency lights on trailers so others know you’re about to turn left or right; this is especially important if traffic conditions mean visibility is poor ahead
