The use of a proprietary stabiliser will

outfit but whilst the use of such equip-
ment will  improve the characteristics
of a balanced outfit, it will not compen-
sate for a badly loaded and therefore
unstable outfit.
Whilst towing, the performance of the
vehicle  will  be reduced  in  terms  of

the change in characteristics and ad-
just the  driving style  in keeping  with
these changes. Care should be exer-
cised when cornering  and braking to
prevent the outfit becoming uncontrol-
lable  by  reducing cornering  speeds
and  allowing increased  braking  dis-
tances.

Thetyresandbrakingequipmentfitted
to the trailer or caravan must be main-
tained in accordance with the recom-
mendations of the manufacturer. Spe-
cial attention should  be paid to  tyres
which  deteriorate  through  time  and
exposure rather than as a result of the
distances towed.  The inside walls  of
the tyres  should be  inspected along
with the outside walls for cracking and
damage. The trailer wheel nut torque
must be checked  on a regular basis,
preferably  before  each  towing  ses-
sion.
The  driver  should  exercise  care  to
ensure that  when pulling  away from
rest particularly on uphill gradients the
clutch unit is  not subjected to exces-
sive  slippage  which will  reduce  the
useful life  of this component.  Use of
