    I'd never actually heard the story of "carrying on" but as you say, i tend to think it is bollocks but what i will say (based on a twin axle car transporter getting a puncture and the tyre ripping off) i di mange to control it. Lots of wobble and a bit of a sweat on but having some rubber...

    :thumb2:thumb2 I agree, these aids will make some pillocks think they are indestructible but then again i reckon air bags and abs had the same effect when they became common place :confused: The way I look at this technology and how i reckon it should be viewed is a bit like a pilot...

    Towing Speed

    correct but any idiot can drive any car at any speed . Thats the fundamental problem. Basic driving ability and awareness of whats going on and not just autopilot. some people should not be allowed out in pedal cars let alone to tow. becoming increasingly incorrect as a carte blanche...

    Towing Speed

    once a vehicle is going across in front of you instead of away in front of you speed becomes kind of irrelevant. It comes down to a big chunk of good luck on top of anticipation and basic skills.

    Towing Speed

    loading, tow vehicle type, trailer to vehicle match and driver ability affect the way a caravan outfit makes safe progress more than anything else. Some people are more dangerous at a walking pace than others at 60mph plus. The weather is contributory but if i had been given a beer for every...

    enjoy it, good choice :thumb2 we've just got back from a 600 mile round trip with our big bailey, which (to relate to the other thread) all conditions pending tows at a rock steady 70mph :naughty Troll + any of the senators is a good match.

    Kia Sorrento Auto

    When I was looking at them as a serious option I cant recall what the list price was but you get get a very smart trim one for around £16k on the road in the summer of 2007 , they were doing a push on them at several dealers near us. just so's you dont fall for the "this car cost" bullshit :thumb2

    security issues
