Thanks Clifford - yes, I have also found that the majority of drivers give more room; I sometimes use the trailer for groceries etc but of course, since it's an enclosed child trailer, drivers don't know there isn't an infant in there. In case I sound car-phobic, my experience is that 99% of drivers behave perfectly decently around bikes, and I think that goes up to 99.9% when kids are involved.

Thanks for your thoughts.
