Vehicle Safety, Documents & TowingStandalone practice
You tow a camping trailer on a rural highway, outside any business or residence district. You are not passing. What is the closest that you may follow another vehicle?
Correct answer: 500 feet
Why
A vehicle that pulls a trailer needs more distance to stop, and its brakes are often not designed for the extra weight. A sudden stop at high speed can make the trailer and the car flip. Slow down more than usual in wind and rain, and allow extra room for turns.
