Q #552 - What should you do if a trailer starts to swing from side to side while you're towing it?
Strong winds or buffeting from large vehicles can cause a trailer or caravan to swing from side to side ('snake'). If this happens, ease off the accelerator. Don't brake harshly, steer sharply or increase your speed.

| Let go of the steering wheel and let it correct itself | |
| Brake hard and hold the pedal down | |
| Accelerate until it stabilises |
