7 WAYS TO BE A BETTER TOW CAR DRIVER

TOW CAR TIPS

WE ALL LIKE to think we're good drivers, but there's always room for improvement. And when it comes to towing, there are a few simple steps we can all take to make sure every journey passes without issue.

With a bit of forward planning and a careful attitude to your driving, towing can be safe and enjoyable, for you and your passengers.

1 Prepare for a safe journey

Safe towing starts long before you turn the key in the ignition. You should make sure car and caravan are both ready to go before every trip.
