Careless Caravanners

Don;t give up you were driving correctly if these people want to speed giving up wont stop them

We were recently heading home on the M1 and doing 60mph in the inside lane. Three outfits passed us doing 5-10 mph faster than we were. Ten miles further on, one of these speeders was on the hard shoulder, debris galore which included a black plastic wheel arch strewn across the motorway. I assumed he had had a blow out, which at that speed had also done damage to the fabric of the caravan. No one appeared to be hurt thankfully and it will be an expensive lesson for the driver that speeding sometimes makes you arrive later, much later. I dont think caravan tyres are up to prolonged high speeds and will give out completely if pushed, its 60 for a reason. 

last sunday i was also involved in an accident with my caravan on the m40 where passing a lorry at 56mph lost one tyre then the other blew its bead threw me out of control resulting in my outfit being written off,  still a little bit raw in our minds but i am determined to replace my out fit  and get back out there again ,sorry to hear your decision to give up please reconsider  caravaning is a joyfull expieriance not to be missed .

You have to ask the question, "If it was another car accident would you give up driving?"

Don`t let it put you off, just make sure that you are doing the right thing staying in control
