Towing Safety 
If you’re planning a holiday vacation this
summer that includes hauling a trailer,
get there safely by remembering these road
safety tips:
Road safety matters
- It’s illegal and unsafe to carry passengers in
a moving trailer;
- when passing, allow for at least twice the
normal passing distance and, when returning
to the driving lane, allow for enough space for
the trailer length;
- stay in the right lane as much as possible;
- drive at a speed that allows for twice the normal
stopping distance;
- reduce speed when driving in extreme weather
conditions (wind and rain);
- don’t drive on the shoulder.
