Just had a quick look but this worried me given the co sponsors of the website.
Towing Mirrors
If a driver cannot obtain a view through the caravan to the rear, then the towing vehicle must be fitted with extension mirrors to both the offside and the nearside
Is that really correct advice or should it have been put a different way. Even when I could see through my caravan I always used towing mirrors as its important to see what is coming around the sides of the caravan!

It does seem rather simplistic compared with other official advice I've seen on this subject, but the website is about safety not simply about complying with the law. The best advice to stay safe is: fit mirrors and use them!

It is a pity there is no section to ask safety and legal questions and get a definative answer 'from an expert' - unless, of course, I didn't spot it.

Could that be because no one wants to get involved in a seemingly gray area - ask a legal or safety question on here for instance and you get hundreds of different replies all of which can be a interpretation of the same law or recommendation.
... exactly what I was getting at.

I think it is to be welcomed but it does seem a bit light on content, hopefully it will grow and more detail and advice will be added.
