Tips for Driving with a Boat Trailer
When driving, remember that your vehicle is longer and heavier than it was before the trailer was attached.
To drive safely with a boat trailer in tow, you should:
- Accelerate slowly
- Turn using a wider radius to allow for the trailer
- Drive at a slower speed than normal
- Allow for greater braking distance
- Use extra caution if driving in high wind, heavy rain, fog or icy conditions
