Compared with driving the same vehicle without a trailer, how should you manage the gap ahead when towing a loaded trailer?
A pickup with a connected loaded trailer follows another car along the road.
Correct answer: Leave a larger gap so you have more room to slow and stop smoothly.
Why
Increase your following distance when towing. The additional weight and load increase braking distance. Look ahead, avoid abrupt manoeuvres and slow before a curve. Choose a gap for the actual speed and conditions; this lesson does not prescribe a universal number of seconds.
