How can drivers enhance visibility while towing a trailer?

Enhancing visibility while towing a trailer is crucial for safe driving. Adjusting mirrors and using extension mirrors when necessary allows drivers to have a clearer view of the area around the trailer, especially the blind spots that are typically larger when towing. Standard side mirrors may not provide adequate visibility due to the length and width of the trailer, so extension mirrors can greatly improve the driver's ability to see vehicles and obstacles behind and beside the trailer.

A rearview camera can be helpful, but it should not be relied upon exclusively because it may not cover all angles or provide adequate visibility in every situation. Turning on all vehicle lights can increase visibility to other drivers but does not necessarily enhance the driver's view of the road and surrounding area. Reducing speed can contribute to safety when towing, but it doesn't directly improve the driver's visibility. Therefore, adjusting and utilizing the right mirrors is essential for ensuring that the driver can monitor their environment effectively while towing a trailer.
