Just wag the tail to look for cops behind you.
If you very slightly turn while driving straight, the trailer will swerve side to side and you get a glimpse behind you. Ive heard it described as wagging the tail. My truck has extended mirrors and you still cant really see behind you without the wag.
So you’re suggesting inducing sway instead of getting proper mirrors?? That sounds safe. :S
I hope you’re being sarcastic. Hard to tell when reading something.
It’s a well known (but often frowned upon) way of seeing behind you. It’s also a good way to get tailgaters off you tail!
