When towing a heavy trailer the front end of the tow vehicle may be forced upwards by the weight pushing down on the towbar. Make sure that you adjust your headlight beam downwards to prevent dazzling oncoming drivers with your lights.
In the UK the maximum gross weight you can tow with a passenger car is 750kg if the trailer is not fitted with a braking system. Most small box trailers fit into this category.
I've started a small transport company with a friend and as business is building we are starting to spend quite a bit on fuel. Companies keep trying to get us to sign up for fuel cards and say we will save money, has anybody tried one of these?...View Entire Thread
Have you experienced difficulties with your car? Is the car broken down or does it require servicing? If so then you can arrange for the car to be repaired by your local garage, some of them will even collect the car for you! Jot down a few numbers from the results on this page and give them a ring.
Pontypool is a medium sized town in south east Wales, not far from the border with England. Pontypool was more than just a mining town, it also had industries such as steel and iron production. It now mainly serves as a dormitary town for commuters to the larger nearby town of Newport. Pontypool had a new bypass constructed in the late 1990s and interestingly this has increased the decline of the town, reducing the number of visitors and shoppers in the center.
