I was guessing that's a HGV dashcam, so there would be a great whack of wind on the side of the caravan as it came past. Says 21st Aug which was last Friday, was proper windy round here.

Just daft driving.

Yep last Friday a year ago!

thought i was going to witness a big crash yesterday heading to Plymouth ....black pick-up towing a trailer with a similar black pick-up on ...snaking started as he moved out of slow lane at about 50 -55 mph and crossed tram lines caused by HGV 's, big snaking action and all other traffic slowed expecting the inevitable but thankfully it never happened !!!!

They closed the A38 on Haldon hill two weeks ago- we came up past on opposite side and a large hiab was fishing a Caravan out of the woods!

Who speeds up when they get a snake on! ?

Ive had a couple of snakes from a big caravan. I treated it like I do when aquaplaning - keep it straight and take foot of accelerator.

Empty vessels.

That was a big caravan for a single axle. ?
 

just maybe if the nose weight was a bit heavier it would have been different.

thats not accounting for  something inside moving, or it was being driven a bit carelessly ?

 

anyhow , I’m sure there’s many opinions as to how and why. So I shall just sit back and read ?

I got a snake on with our loader on the back of the Landy on the motorway, I just floored it to 120 and all was good, I have big balls though !

I've told you a million times about lying.
