I have been a caravanner for about thirty years.
If you think that all caravanners are the same you are wrong.
If you think that all caravanners know how to tow safely and properly you are wrong.
If you think that all towing outfits i.e. the match of towing vehicle to towed vehicle, are well matched you are wrong.
This is to say that whilst I totally disagree that there should be a silly restriction of times and use on our roads, what I say is that until the law changes there is no justification for screwing us for maybe not having set adequate levels of competance.
What there should be is a DSA competancy test for towing a caravan combined with a theory requirement to ensure that drivers know the rules.
Make the law crystal clear as to what can tow what, which it does not clearly do at the moment.
To sum up. Unfair to ask a question as flip-flop does when caravanners are not legally compelled to be trined or tested. Discuss.
