[RC] Trailer addident/endurance rider in need - sherman
Yes, this was a very tragic accident. My heart goes out to Dave
and Roxanne on the loss of Thunder (as well as all Dave’s equipment).
Now is a good time to talk about what to do if a trailer
begins to fishtail. I asked my husband if I should brake slowly if the trailer
starts fishtailing. He warned that speeding up is the way to stop a fishtailing
trailer. He is a CHP officer on the pass thru the Sierras and sees many, many
crashes, mostly caused by speed and fatigue. If I hadn’t asked him about
this I surely would have tried to brake to control a fishtailing trailer.
Hopefully I’ll never have one, but better to be forewarned.
I only get the digest, so don’t know if this has
already been mentioned.
