Towing trailers
– Before you tow a trailer for the first time,
practice driving in a suitable area.
– When driving through a narrow section of
aisle, take the dimensions of the trailer and
load into consideration.
– When towing multiple trailers, ensure a
sufficient minimum distance to fixed instal-
lations when turning and cornering.
The permissible length of the trailers depends
on the routes to be driven and may need to be
determined during the test drives.
It is the responsibility of the operating com-
pany to instruct the driver regarding the per-
missible number of trailers and, possibly, the
need to reduce speed on individual sections of
the route (see ⇒ Chapter "Definition of terms
used for responsible persons", P. 20).
