Campaign urges drivers to tow safely
This follows the tragic death of three-year-old Freddie Hussey.
The guidance includes important information on checking the towball and connections; wheels and tyres; lights and indicators; and loads and weight limits.
DVSA Chief Executive, Gareth Llewellyn, said: “It’s your responsibility to ensure equipment is fitted to your vehicle correctly and used safely. There is no excuse for not being informed.
“Even a short journey with an insecure or unroadworthy trailer puts lives at risk, as the death of three-year-old Freddie Hussey tragically shows.”
