I am sometimes amused and quite often terrified by the behaviour of other car drivers when they see me towing my boat along. No matter what the speed limit is, how fast I'm going or how many cars are in a long line in front of me they become obsessed with getting in front of me. Pulling out in front of me out of side roads at the last second is quite normal, the closer I get the more likely they are to do it when they suddenly notice I'm towing. Then the overtaking, no matter how pointless the exercise they have to get past. They close in eagerly like a predatory animal then dash past regardless of the road. Do they win prizes perhaps for the most reckless overtaking? Then I find they are slowing me up because they didn't want to go that fast anyway, just to get past the "hold up".

It all makes me very nervous.

Trailer tyres need considerably higher pressures than car tyres - also frequently overlooked.
