No....
1) Caravans can only go as fast as the law allows them.
2) The drivers consideration when towing is either there or not. Not the fault of the caravan, as such..

the law only allows cars to go at certain speeds, do we all comply with those laws?

Exclamation Caravan mistreatment

Hi Bob,
Have you seen the other program hosted by a member of the Top Gear Team, Brainiac, this is hosted by Richie Hammond and he regularly destroys caravans in the name of science. If you are squeemish of seeing caravans destroyed then don't watch !
Cheers

Firstly I like the Top Gear Caravan stickers and secondly when I am towing my caravan the number of times I am held up by dithering idiots is fairly often. Most Volvo caravanners have good towcars and make good speed on the roads. I pay my road tax and I will take my caravan out.

There are lower speed limits for cars vehicles that are towing - 60mph instead of 70 on motorway / dual carriageway & 50mph instead of 60mph on single carriageway. 50 / 40 / 30mph zones are the same for both towing & not towing.
