You are driving with a trailer on a road with potholes. Your combination vehicle begins to swing up. What must you do now?

When towing a trailer, if your combination vehicle starts to swing or sway—especially on uneven roads with potholes—you must reduce your speed. Slowing down helps regain control and reduces the risk of skidding or jackknifing. Accelerating or quickly counter-steering can make the swinging worse and increase the danger of losing control. German traffic rules emphasize gentle steering and reduction of speed in such situations to maintain safety. Remember: always slow down carefully when your trailer starts to sway.
