“Everyone should expect to see more caravans, boats and trailers being towed on the roads today,” he said. 

“Those of you that are driving these vehicles or are following them, please drive courteously and patiently. Remember these vehicles behave and handle differently than they normally would and need more room to stop or manoeuvre in an emergency.

“It is not the aim of Tasmania Police to issues as many infringement notices as possible but to educate the public about safe driving practices.”
