Those new to the caravanning scene may wish to research how best to go about towing their mobile home as it is somewhat different from normal driving.
The need to avoid accidents is elevated due to the excess weight and size – a point that was evidenced in a traffic collision this yesterday (September 20th) in Newbury.
According to the Newbury Weekly News, a caravan jacknifed on the M4 motorway heading westbound between junctions 13 and 13, causing a lot of hassle for commuters in the area.
A police spokeswoman confirmed that the accident happened this morning just as rush hour was getting under way.
Rebecca Webber explained to the newspaper that there were two vehicles involved, one of which was a black Volvo Estate towing a caravan.
While no one was injured, the incident serves to remind caravan owners that they need to take extra care on the roads, especially in heavy traffic.
In other news, thisisthewestcountry.co.uk has revealed that a masked raider has been caught on CCTV at a caravan site just an hour after a robbery at a separate holiday park in the area.
