MikeB4: @Technofreak Caravan owner here. Roads sidings in Aotearoa are terrible. The places in which one can pull over safely are few and far between. I can imagine it is worse for someone towing a loaded horse box. The maximum allowable speed is 90km/h and given the longer braking distances, the type of roads in Aotearoa 90km/h is hard to achieve safely.

We pull over as often as we can and slow right down at passing lanes to allow as many cars through. Keep in mind a siding or verge that may look ok for a car to pull into they can be a dangerous nightmare when towing.

 

I acknowledge the road sidings are not great in many places and the addition of road side barriers haven't helped.

 

In my experience caravan owners are generally pretty good and pull over where and when they can. I'm talking about examples where there are suitable places to pull over yet these people make no effort to let following traffic past.

 

Car trailer hauler here.  Wider than a lot of other trailers just for added fun.  While I agree about lack of suitable spots in many parts of the roading network, it's times like when there's a slow vehicle bay that a horse float puller deems themselves not to need that are aggravating to the line of traffic building up behind them.  Then they will stroll through a town and continue out the far side, still with a line of traffic stuck behind them.  The vast majority of other trailer types seem quite able to be aware of what's happening behind them and allow people to pass when possible.
