Caravan Insurance

The Highways Agency is to raise awareness of the dangers of towing caravans with a new DVD, it has been reported.

According to Publictechnology.net, the Fit to Tow programme can be picked up through a number of road safety education programmes.

It added that there were some 1,400 injuries which occurred while people were towing caravans in the UK last year, along with 43 fatalities.

Such an occurrence can have a serious effect on caravan insurance policies, while companies could choose not to offer cheap deals to those who have been involved in accidents in the past.

Presenting the DVD is television personality Carol Smillie, who first came into the public eye as Nicky Campbell's assistant on game show Wheel of Fortune, before presenting the programme herself.

The television personality commented that she was "amazed" by the number of related accidents occurring in the UK every year.

"I fully support this initiative and I would advise anyone who tows to follow the simple, practical checks and advice included in the film to ensure you are Fit to Tow," said the presenter.
