Uploaded by @crappycarcollecter, the video gives us a chance to review some guidelines about how to handle this type of situation. “The most difficult part of trailer driving for many motorists is making turns,” says dmv.org. “While it does not seem like there might be a need for it, drivers pulling trailers must overshoot their turns, taking them wide enough so that the trailer’s path does not put it off the road or in contact with telephone poles or other street-side obstacles. Cutting a corner with a trailer will put the trailer, as well as pedestrians, other drivers, and yourself, in danger of collision.” In this case, obviously, street side obstacles such as telephone poles are far less of an issue than the steep slope below which magnifies the danger. We post videos such as these as part of our coverage because we hope there are specific behaviors drivers can learn and implement to help make our roads safer for all of us. Recommended For You
