Caravans On Motorways In Gale Force Winds.
 

this afternoon, winds being as they are why people dare to drive down the motorway with them. Passed about 4 on the way to Blackpool. They was being blown all over the place causing other motorists to swerve on the occasion.
So, im wondering, if you choose to take a caravan out in gale force winds would your insurance company cover all costs if you had an accident.

Even HGV's were very sparce today.Must have seen about 5, thats all. The mind boggles, just shows how many idiots are around on the roads today.

A caravan and galeforce winds is a recipe for disaster. When HGV's are scarce on a road you know its too damned dangerous. Only the totally loopy or desperate take a caravan out in this weather. As for the insurence it would take a hell of a lot of explaining as to why you had your "box home" on the road.

Absolutly stupid.....
we went away in ours a few weeks ago ,but we would have cancelled without doubt if forecasts of gusty winds , even check return journey before we set off and even the slightest chance of winds and we wouldnt risk it .

I've witnessed this too, could the drivers be done for dangerous driving?

Re: Caravans On Motorways In Gale Force Winds.
 

Dont think its classed as dangerous driving as any responsible caravaner would have a stablizer fitted , but I do agree its still dodgy to even contemplate taking one on the road in this weather
