I've seen it a dozen times, someones pride and joy starts snaking and they slow down!!!!
Wham, one caravan reduced to matchsticks, one rear axle of car wiped out and car very probably on its side.
One hell of a disruption when it happens as usual on the M1 or M25.
Caravans should have to travel at night after say 10pm and up until 6am.

Far more serious accidents caused by HGV's and cars travelling to close than by caravans. A good setup with correct stabilisers will not snake.
