Motorists with caravans have been warned they could be fined thousands as the law was changed. The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has altered the rules so drivers do not need to take an extra test to tow a caravan.
As reported by the Express, a number of restrictions still apply despite this rule change, with anyone towing a caravan can facing a potential fine of around £2,500 if they break any of the rules. John Woosey, from Ripe Insurance, has now advised drivers to be aware of this change.
He said: “Many people towing caravans this winter may well be doing so for the very first time. So, I’d urge everyone to brush up on the rules before going any further."
