Re: [A/S] Hi from Seattle
Hi Joannie,
Get right back on the road! Take back roads for a while, drive slow
(ignore anyone impatient behind you) and take your time until you feel
more confident. We've all had scary experiences that may or may not
have ended in a crash, you learn. Tow during the day when you aren't
tired, avoid night time towing. When I first started I had a 67 Safari
that I towed way too fast! One trip I came up and over a hill to find
the traffic stopped dead at the bottom. I hit the brakes and the
trailer started to sway back and forth! Everyone on either side of me
pulled as far away from me as they could go in heavy traffic, terror in
their faces! I was able to stop about a half inch from the guy in front
of me. I was very lucky that day, I was sure I was going to lose
control and flip the trailer and truck! My stomach was a mess for
hours! I've never speeded since while towing!
There is so much to see out there, get on the road!
