Vehicle Safety, Documents & TowingStandalone practice
On a two-lane road, you want to pass a pickup truck that tows a camping trailer. About how much clear road ahead may you need to pass it safely?
Correct answer: About half a mile
Why
Vehicles with trailers are longer and wider than cars, speed up and stop more slowly, and need more room to turn. As you come up behind one, watch for the trailer to sway in crosswinds or on slippery curves. Leave extra space, because sudden braking can make the trailer jackknife.
