Trailer sway can be caused by various factors, including incorrect loading (especially negative drawbar load or heavy load at the rear), excessive speed, strong crosswinds, uneven weight distribution, or sudden steering movements.
Drawbar load, or tow ball weight (kogeldruk in Dutch), is the vertical force exerted by the trailer's coupling on the tow bar of the towing vehicle. It's crucial because both excessively high or negative drawbar loads compromise stability. A negative drawbar load (trailer pulling the tow bar up) significantly increases the risk of sway and is prohibited.
If your trailer starts to sway, the primary action is to gently reduce speed by releasing the accelerator, but avoid harsh braking. Steer as little as possible, keeping the steering wheel straight. Do not accelerate. If the sway doesn't stop, gradually apply the brakes of the towing vehicle gently.
To prevent instability, place heavy loads as low as possible and over or slightly in front of the trailer's axle. Ensure the load is distributed symmetrically (even on left and right) and secured properly to prevent shifting during transit.
Yes, Dutch rules stipulate that the load must be distributed safely and secured to prevent any risk while driving, steering, and braking. Incorrect drawbar load (negative or excessively high) is prohibited, and specific maximum weights are set by the vehicle's registration card.
By completing Trailer Stability & Sway, you will gain stronger rule knowledge, faster recognition of signs and situations, better decision making in traffic scenarios, and increased accuracy on exam style questions used in the Netherlands.
