Always be courteous. Make it as easy as possible for faster-mov-
ing vehicles to pass you. Remain in the slower lane and be pre-
pared to slow down if they need extra time to return to their proper
lane.
Don’t tailgate. Allow at least one combined car-and-trailer length
between you and the car ahead for every 10 MPH you are traveling.
If a problem occurs, the general rule is to stay calm. Don’t
panic and don’t do anything any more suddenly or violently than
you have to.
A sudden bumping or fan-tailing may be a flat tire. Don’t jam
on the brakes or mash the accelerator to try to drive out of it. Stop
slowly and in as straight a line as possible. If conditions permit,
allow your rig to coast at a very slow speed and try to avoid braking,
except when your wheels are straight ahead and the trailer and tow
vehicle are in line.
If your trailer begins to fish-tail as you accelerate to highway
speed, back off a little and it should cease. If it begins again as
you accelerate, stop and check your load. If it is not evenly distrib-
uted side-to-side, or it is too far back so that the hitch load be-
comes too low, the result can be this condition. Re-distribute the
load forward and correct the improper loading before continuing.
