Outlining Your Horse Trailer With reflective Tape – Number One Safety improvement

Most horse trailers are already marked with DOT C2 reflective tape, and if your DOT tape is old, you should replace it. But even with brand new bright DOT tape, is your trailer really marked as well as it should be? And if not, what would it cost to mark it properly for maximum safety. The answer is, not very much at all.

First, when I say outline your trailer, I do not mean to run reflective tape down and around every single edge. That would be expensive, a lot of work, and a bit of an overkill. Not to mention a little odd looking. What I do mean is to apply sufficient amounts of reflective strips or shapes at intervals around the perimeter of your trailers sides, front and back so that at night, approaching vehicles will immediately see what your trailer is.

To clarify, seeing an object, and recognizing what that object actually is, are two different things.
