Wednesday, May 18, 2005 Orono Weekly Times - 9 OPP says "Be safe" as countdown to Victoria Day weekend continues (ORILLIA, ONT.) -With the arrival of spring, it's not uncommon to see an increase in vehicles hauling trailers, boats and other recreational equipment on our roads and highways, and the OPP wants to make sure that motorists who are hauling even the lightest load behind their vehicle, vehicle, do so with safety in mind. Before you head out on the road, make sure that all your lights are working, and this is equally important for daytime driving as it is at night. Ideally, a tow vehicle should be as heavy if not heavier than the load being towed, and keep in mind that a longer wheelbase on a tow vehicle helps keep the tow vehicle from being pushed around by your loaded trailer. Your hitch is an important factor in safe hauling, therefore therefore make absolutely sure that your hitch is safe and your safety chain properly fastened. The last thing you want to do is look out your rear view mirror mirror and see your load on the loose, or worse yet, in the path of nearby vehicles. Trailer tires are often neglected, so be sure they are in good shape and properly inflated. While you are out on the road, think twice about passing passing with a load in tow and if' you need to do so, remember to allow extra time and pull-in room when passing slow moving moving vehicles. Also allow plenty plenty of extra braking distance between you and the vehicle in front of you. The OPP reminds everyone who plans on hauling loads behind their vehicle, to remember these important safety tips. Safe hauling will go a long way in protecting i you, your passengers and nearby vehicles from serious injury or death. If you want to drink, that's your business. If you want to stop... that's.ours.
