So what to do when it sways?

Accelerate?

Engage electric brakes on caravan?
I see the standard AU faded roof.
Note that accident was on the M1 at Berowra entrance lane, flat stretch of the freeway so he must have been racing the BA wagon next to him. Points for keeping it upright.

Yep, that's what it looked like to me.
Done that trip many times with my car and trailer.

I vote for no restrictions of any kind and let natural selection sort everything out

Nup, definitively Berowra on ramp heading north, he ends up sprawled all over. There are no further on ramps heading down until you cross the Hawkesbury river bridge.

The Sansyong looks like further up the freeway at Morriset.

EDIT cancel that.... After looking at the video more it's heading south coming down the hill into Wahroonga, with him ending up in the merge lane from Ku ringai,NP Bobbin Head. Cutting do not look deep enough to be around the Hawkesbury.
