What should you note when driving a car after coupling a trailer caravan to it?

When you attach a trailer or caravan to your car, two main changes affect your driving. First, the overtaking distance is extended because the added length and weight make acceleration slower and the vehicle less agile. Second, the acceleration capacity decreases since the engine has to work harder to move the heavier combination, so it takes longer to reach higher speeds. The third option, about the cornering radius being reduced, is incorrect because the trailer actually increases the turning radius, meaning you need more space to turn, not less. Remembering these points helps you adapt your driving safely when towing.
