Towing trailers
– Drivers who are towing a trailer for the first
time must practise driving with a trailer in a
suitable area.
– When passing through narrow road areas
(entrances, gates etc.), observe the dimen-
sions of the trailer and load.
– When towing multiple trailers, ensure a suf-
ficient minimum distance to fixed installa-
tions when turning and cornering.
The permissible length of the trailer trains de-
pends on the roadways to be driven and may
need to be determined during the test drive.
It is the responsibility of the operating compa-
ny to instruct the drivers regarding the permis-
sible number of trailers and, where required,
any additional speed reductions on individual
sections of the route.
NOTE
Please observe the definition of the following
responsible persons: "operating company"
and "driver".
