You are in your car towing a trailer on a road with oncoming traffic and want to turn left. What must you particularly remember when you set off again?

When towing a trailer, it's essential to consider both the length of your vehicle and trailer combination and your vehicle's acceleration capacity.

1. The length of the combination affects how you navigate turns, especially when there is oncoming traffic. A longer vehicle requires more space to turn without encroaching on the oncoming lane.

2. Reduced acceleration capacity is critical as towing a trailer can slow down your vehicle's speed when starting or merging into traffic, especially when turning left. Being aware of this helps you gauge the time you need to safely make your turn.

These considerations are outlined in German traffic laws to promote safety and prevent accidents, particularly in situations involving larger vehicles and trailers.
