Even in the harsher seasons, transport often can’t wait. However, there are some environmental factors that you must take into account if you want to set off with a trailer. Let’s see how you can equip your trailer with the greatest safety, whether it’s autumn fog, slippery roads or even a strong gust of wind, because Autoflex-KNOTT has a solution for all road conditions.
“Fog is more dangerous than dark, as it gives the illusion of seeing”
One of the most common features of autumn mornings and early dusk is the sometimes light, often opaque haze. Unfortunately, this disturbing greyness not only affects our mood, but also significantly reduces visibility. So the most important thing is to pay special attention to visibility during these periods, as all road users, whether they are cars, bicycles or pedestrians, need to be aware that a trailer or caravan is also attached to our car. Of course, this requires that the lighting components of the trailer or caravan to be towed be in perfect working condition.
What are the most important lighting components for trailers?
The electrical system of the trailer consists of a connector, a cable and lights. The role of the connector is to connect the trailer to the electrical system of the car, which allows the lights to light up. When deciding which ones to buy, there are three important aspects to consider. The first one is that the components must always comply with the legal requirements. We can then decide on the basis of our individual preferences, based on beauty and practicality, in other words, value for money.
At Autóflex-KNOTT you can choose from a wide range of electrical accessories to meet all your needs.
On slippery roads, with a stable trailer
One of the most common nightmares for people who routinely tow trailers or caravans, is that on a not noticeable, slippery road, or in a strong gust of wind, or in a bend, the towed vehicle swings in one direction and becomes unmanageable. The worst of these unfortunate scenarios is when the swaying can escalate to the point where the trailer, or in the worst case, the towing vehicle, is overturned. This in turn poses a risk to all vehicles on the road. Good tyres are the pillars of stable road-holding. Unfortunately, many people neglect the condition of the tyres on their trailers, claiming that it is enough to have good tyres on the towing vehicle. But this is the wrong approach – it is just as important to have good tyres on your trailer.
