Avoiding Swaying or Snaking


 

Caravan / Motorhome Signage

Do I need to attach "Do not overtake turning vehicle" signs to my caravan / motorhome.

If your motorhome or tow vehicle and caravan / campertrailer is 7.5m or longer and has a "DO NOT OVERTAKE TURNING VEHICLE" sign on the back, you are allowed to turn left from (or partially from) the lane on the right of the far left lane.

Heavy Vehicle / RV Courtesy
What should you do when overtaking or being overtaken by a heavy vehicle.  Sound advice from a truckies point of view.

Best Tow Vehicle
What vehicle do you need to tow with? Diesel? Petrol? Gas? Manual? Automatic?

         
I
f your motorhome or tow vehicle and caravan / campertrailer is under 7.5 m long, you must not display a “DO NOT OVERTAKE TURNING VEHICLE” sign on the back, and you must turn within the lanes marked on the road at all times.

Intersection markings are generally too tight for large vehicles and you have to swing wide to make a left turn. Try to position your rig so that vehicles behind you cannot pass on your left and make sure you have the best view possible of the road you are turning into.

Right hand turns

If you are turning right from a one way street, your motorhome or tow vehicle and caravan / campertrailer is 7.5 m or longer and you have a “DO NOT OVERTAKE TURNING VEHICLE” sign displayed on the back of the motorhome or tow vehicle and caravan / campertrailer, you can turn right from the lane on the immediate left of the far right lane.  When making a right turn, make sure you have reached far enough into the intersection before starting to turn into the street. If you turn too soon, the side of your rig may hit vehicles on your right as the back of your vehicle cuts-in to the turn.
