  1. What additional mirror equipment is typically required when towing a wide trailer?

    Answer: Extended towing mirrors that allow visibility along both sides of the trailer

    Extended towing mirrors are legally required when the trailer is wider than the towing vehicle's standard mirrors' field of view, ensuring the driver can see behind the trailer.

  2. What is the maximum combined length allowed for a car-trailer combination on German roads?

    Answer: 18.75 meters

    The maximum total length for a car-trailer combination in Germany is 18.75 meters, consistent with EU regulations for such vehicle combinations.

  3. Before a long journey with a loaded trailer, what tire-related check is especially important?

    Answer: Check and adjust trailer tire pressures to the manufacturer's loaded specification

    Trailer tire pressures must be checked and set to the manufacturer's loaded specification, as under-inflation causes overheating and blowouts especially under load.

  4. When overtaking with a trailer on a two-lane road, why must you allow extra space compared to overtaking without a trailer?

    Answer: The combined vehicle length is greater, requiring more road length to complete the maneuver safely

    The extended overall length of a car-trailer combination requires a much longer gap in oncoming traffic to safely complete an overtaking maneuver.

  5. What does an overrun braking system on a trailer do when the towing vehicle decelerates?

    Answer: The trailer's forward momentum compresses the hitch coupling, automatically activating the trailer brakes

    An overrun braking system uses the trailer's own inertia — when the tow vehicle brakes, the trailer pushes forward, compressing the coupler and mechanically applying the trailer brakes.

  6. After uncoupling a trailer on a slope, what must be done immediately?

    Answer: Apply the trailer's parking brake and use wheel chocks to prevent rolling

    A parked trailer must always have its parking brake applied, and wheel chocks should be used on any slope to prevent the trailer from rolling away.
