    Looks to be on the "largish" side, but then drink-driving is probably more of an issue?

    No doubt all the impending traffic which sat behind this accident were cursing our fraternity for some hours too.

    Most wagons back off to 45mph down the steepest part of that hill from what I have noticed. I do similar when towing and doubt I go much over 50 on the steepest part when solo

    Scary stuff....!! At least the public have been informed of the probable cause. Saves absolutely everyone cursing us caravanners!

    Excess speed and drink, nothing to do with too light a towcar.
