Tail swing and hitch swing need to be understood and measured. Otherwise you may find yourself in a tight corner with no room to manoeuvre. We demonstrate measure and explain them with video of a Land Rover Discovery Sport and a Bailey Unicorn Vigo 7.5 meter caravan. Your vehicle and trailer may handle similarly to ours but you will only know if you try the manoeuvres out for yourself.

SatNav is another topic we cover. They have a deserved reputation for causing problems and should not be your only source of information, but they help in the driver anticipation and aid the reading of the road. This is not advanced driving, it is more like everyday HGV driving. If you consider that advanced then advanced it is. However it is easy when you know how to and I worked in driver education as an instructor for many years. So I know one or two things about teaching driving techniques from the days of the UK Department of Transport to it's new name of the Driving Standards Agency, (DSA).

New to driving or an old pro, we are all learning and I hope to influence others in their techniques and their products, such as Land Rover and it's SatNav systems that needs a software update. That would turn a good tow vehicle into a great product.

So whether you are a beginner or a expert, there should be something in this video for you to test your driving skills.
