PSSST!... Nothing you or anyone here has posted anything I was not already aware of.
Sometimes needs must. I repeat, it is the quality of the nut holding the steering wheel which is of paramount importance and no amount of legislation constraints can ensure that. All of us take a risk even sitting in our cars in a layby as I discovered one day when a Nissan pulled up immediately behind my car and became a burning inferno. The driver had two hundred yards of layby to chose from to stop but did so less than two metres behind me. Feel the heat!
I repeat, time and again I see articulated trucks, caravans and other stuff towed within legal parameters which come unstuck in a multiplicity of ways. Jack-knife describes it perfectly. How come? ... that nut holding the steering wheel plays a major part. YouTube has numerous footage of such stuff.
Guess I'll just have to get me a big fat-gut heavyweight vehicle to stay legal.
Sorted.
