CaravanTimes has been catching up Golden Castle Caravans and Towergate Insurance to talk about how to use towing mirrors and why they are important.

Towing mirrors are a legal requirement in most cases, and they are certainly highly recommended as a safety necessity when towing a caravan.

In this video we find out about the advantages of fitting towing mirrors from Karl Scott of Towergate Insurance, who explains that they can increase your view of blind spots.

Peter Ashby of Golden Castle Caravans also explains that, although not having towing mirrors may not be a necessity for your vehicle, you can be pulled over by the police if they are concerned about your ability to see behind you.

Peter also tells us about the different kinds of towing mirror and which is the most popular, the most reasonable in price, and which ones ought to be avoided.

He also demonstrates how to attach the towing mirror to a car and talks about the potential hazards that could break your towing mirrors.
