Look Behind You Guide

…. A lot has changed in the 10 years’ since the last copy of the Look Behind You Guide and this updated version looks to raise awareness and understanding.

The guide is aimed at farmers, tractor drivers, mechanics and technicians – indeed anyone using, purchasing or maintaining tractors and trailers.

It seeks to raise user awareness of what is needed from tractor-trailer braking systems, in order to obtain good performance and also to comply with the minimum legal requirements.

It will also help users to make informed purchasing decisions and to recognise shortfalls in the braking systems of their current vehicles.

On behalf of the AEA, Andy Scarlett from Scarlett Research Ltd introduces the Look Behind You Guide and why it’s important that you read it. The addition of video and animated video content makes up a huge part of the new guide.
