Revamped Highway Code

There are many new rules in the all new revamped Highway Code.

Here is just one to be aware of:

Driver Vehicle Standards Agency Officers have now the power to stop you on all roads and motorways.

They will attract you by flashing amber lights from front requesting you to follow to a safe place to stop.

Or from behind directing you to pull over to the side of the road using left indicator.

In all cases it is an offence if you do not stop!

We Supply and Fit Motor Movers

This week in the DanHIRE Workshops we fitted a Purple Line Quattro Platinum Motor Mover to a New BASECAMP Caravan in order to make it easier for the owner to move around.

This Mover can be fitted to either a Single or Twin Axle Caravan.

DanHIRE Trailers ROADSIDE CHECK with SUFFOLK POLICE

On March 17th DanHIRE Trailers joined Suffolk Constabulary Roads Policing Team and NTTA National Trailer and Towing Assoc.

Based in Clifton Road Car Park, Lowestoft, several Trailers were checked and found to have many faults: Bald tyres, number plates missing, problems with lights not working…

All agencies took part throughout the day and reported at end of day over 75 motorists had committed serious infringements and failures: licences, insurances, badly applied window tinting, drug driving checks, and most of all; driving while using mobile phones and not wearing seat belts!

ARE YOU TOWING BLIND

IT IS IMPORTANT to have Extended Mirrors fitted to your vehicle and a legal requirement you must be able to see 4 metres from the side of your trailer /caravan……and distance of 20 metres behind driver.

So if your Trailer / Caravan is wider than your tow vehicle by law you must fit and use extended mirrors you can be fined up to £1000 and 3 points on license.

Many drivers have received a fixed penalty of £60 and 3 points!

Question (commonly asked)

WHEN I START TO BRAKE WHEN TRAVELLING MY TRAILER STARTS TO BANG AT REAR OF VEHICLE?

ANSWER

This BANGING may be due to a worn damper within the trailer coupling.

Bearing in mind the damper acts as a Shock Absorber. The trailer tends to nose dive towards tow vehicle…

If this is the case a new damper would be required.

BUT before to much expense it is important the trailer brakes are checked and brake cables working correctly.

Good working Brakes are so important.

So a brake check, if there’s still banging you will need new damper.

So we Recommend
