Each state has slightly different road laws and regulations. In addition to not exceeding maximum weights for towing vehicles and caravans some of the things you need to be aware of such as: Towing mirrors, number plates obstructed by towbars, the correct number plate height from the ground, ‘Do not overtake turning vehicle’ signs and the laws that relate to them, speed limits when towing, caravan swaying, etc.
