Caravan drivers do generally drive more slowly and carefully to keep ourselves and other drivers safe, mainly due to having a heavy load attached to the back of our cars that means it takes us longer to stop and start.
We don’t do it to annoy you and actually legally, we aren’t allowed to go above 60mph on the motorway or dual carriageways, and 50mph on single carriage ways – IT’S THE LAW.
All of our cars are powerful enough to handle the extra weight and pull of our vans (or they should be, some people are just stupid), but we do take a little longer to pull off from junctions (safety first) and will be a bit slower up steep hills and around sharp/blind corners.
It’s not to annoy you. Please don’t beep us (unless we are doing something silly, which is just as likely for someone not towing a caravan) and please do not try stupid, dangerous manoeuvres to get past us, to save yourself a few seconds/minutes on your journey. Yours and our lives are more important.
Caravan drivers are just normal people, trying to go on holiday and enjoy themselves. Thank you.

So agree with you. It’s quie unbelievable what some drivers will do just to make sure they are not behind a caravan. I’ve lost count of the number of people who have overtaken us to find that there is a slow car, lorry or tractor in front of us and little room to pull in before another car comes hurtling towards them.
