PLEASE. Slow down. There is nothing clever about hammering down a major road at 80mph with a caravan in tow.Yes, that's YOU, Mr "Know it all about towing" !!
I don't care if you have got a big 4 Wheel drive. I don't care if you've got the most stable outfit on wheels.
You are going TOO FAST if something catches you unawares. A sudden side-wind. A puncture, An object in the road, A situation where you have to change direction.
The family whose caravan was all over the M5 recently, holding up other traffic for ages will not have enjoyed their journey.
They will also not have enjoyed their hospital stay either. their van was taken away in so many pieces that it was barely recognisable. They were lucky to live. And all because 'DAD' was going TOO FAST!
We live down here in the West Country, and we are caravanners too. Please don't be the next casualties. Remember, that if you DO have an accident due to travelling at lunatic speeds, there will always be someone to tell the police what speed you were doing before the inevitable accident, so for a start, if you've been speeding, your insurance will NOT cover you, or your nice new van.
Enjoy your holiday by all means, but if you are coming down here, then please don't get all other caravanners a bad name by behaving like a PRAT!
