Should I disconnect the trailer at the roadside?
Keep the combination coupled if there is no safe, stable place to unhitch. If you are in traffic, follow the road authority’s breakdown advice and call 112 in an emergency. Say if the trailer is at an angle, has a locked wheel or the load has shifted. That affects how the recovery can be done.
What should I tell the driver about the trailer?
Give both registrations if available and say what kind of trailer it is. An empty trailer, a loaded one and a caravan call for different assessments. Describe the load and whether the tow car and trailer can roll. Mention if there is little room to turn on the road.
Can the car and trailer go to different places?
Make an arrangement for each vehicle. If a different car will collect the trailer, check that the car and driver are allowed to tow it. Ask the insurer separately what applies to the car and the trailer. When contacting recovery in Härjedalen, start with your road, direction and the fact you have a trailer. See what to share after a breakdown.
