Caravan safety
Discussion
We all know there are caravans and trailers with perished, beyond-their-life tyres put on the road each year and used 'because they have a good tread depth. Always worth checking the dates.
Another danger confronted me last week....... Travelling South from Cromer on a road with 40MPH limit, as I approached a RH 90 degree bend I saw over the bushes a caravan approaching the bend from the opposite direction. My first thought was 'crikey, he's going far too fast'! My first reaction was to brake as I thought the caravan would turn over. It rounded the corner and thankfully stayed upright. Then another car/caravan combo came around going equally as fast - the caravan jackknifed as the car exited the corner, but thankfully righted itself before getting to me. Was it 'friends in convoy' being idiots? or did they both 'forget' they were towing? A frightening experience (maybe for them also). Be careful out there folks!
