Caravans are OK if they if they have a nice 4X4 at front or a powerfull volvo

.
When they are pulled by small cars thats when they are a nuisance

.
I have also had caravans and they are capable of keeping up with traffic if driven correctly

.
You also need confidence and training to do this properley, many people incorrectly load them or drive the rig incorrectly

.
The speed restriction is a good thing should have kept it at fifty as it was a few years ago for all caravans
