Undertaking... sounds an appropriate word really.

Too many people not allowing enough time for their journey is the cause of many accidents.

A pratt driver gets away with it when alone, but put two together on the same road... Crrrrrruuuuuunnnncccchhhhhh.
Sound word's there mate, unfortunately it happens too often, Rick

I had 2 ponies in my Ifor 510 and my 2003 X trail and it snaked and overturned on the A1 going north down a hill in a medium to high wind.
Everyone was fine inc ponies and car.
Trailer was a write off
I use stabilisers now.
But this should not have happened. I dont want criticism of the trailer, or the car, everything was legal. Perhaps better combinations could have been made, but I dont need those suggestions I just wonder how it happened?
