Trailer sway crash - GIF

The only way to stop that immediately, if the van has brakes fitted, is to apply the van brakes hard, that straightens it out and slows the whole vehicle down to an acceptable speed. Once it is pulled straight and some speed washed of, start using the go pedal sparingly and away you go with just a dirty set of undies and no broken van. If the van has NO brakes, then this will be the outcome just about every time this happens. The moron driving was giving it too much pedal and when he broke out of the windbreak caused by the truck, then 'Shits are trumps'. Been out on the road for over 30 yrs and seen this a few times, don't even bother to stop now-a-days, they caused it, so they can clean their own crap up.
