Description
Everyone who has passed their test since 1 January 1997 has to take a towing test to tow certain sizes of trailers, which includes all horse trailer outfits. "Preparing for the Towing Test" tells the test candidate everything they need to know. The book examines the regulations laid down for the drivers and the towing and towed vehicles. Each stage of the test, the manoeuvres, and how to practise them, are described, including the test format and marking, manoeuvring-area layout, road sense, reversing, braking and coupling and uncoupling, and are supported by clear photographs and diagrams. The author also emphasizes specifically applicable to towing horses not covered by the test. This is the third "Allen Photographic Guide" in John Henderson's trilogy, the first two of which were "Towing Horse Trailers" and "Trailer Maintenance". Each guide gives invaluable practical and safety information on its individual subject; together the books provide all the information you need to ensure the safety of you and your horse when towing and maintaining trailers.
