You are towing a caravan on a dual carriageway when you see blue lights from an emergency vehicle approaching quickly behind you. Your caravan is correctly loaded and within the car’s towing limit. What should you do?

Explanation

The Highway Code (including Rule 98 on towing and loading) requires you to keep your vehicle and any towed load stable and under control. When an emergency vehicle approaches, you must help it pass safely, but not by making sudden or unsafe movements that could destabilise a caravan or trailer. You should use your mirrors, slow down smoothly if needed, and move aside only when it’s safe, keeping your load secure and your vehicle within its handling limits.
