Riding with child trailers in traffic

[stuartwickes]

I've just posted this in the Recreational & Family forum but figure this might be a better place..

I've been asked by a novice to give some tips on riding in traffic with a child trailer. I've ridden with trailers a lot but not so much in heavy traffic, I tend to avoid it. :)

Wondered if any of you good people would care to offer tips from your experience, or comment on mine...

I've never ridden mine in what I would call a "big city" but it was still in moderate traffic
First time I rode with it I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of space cars gave me now that I had a trailer. I'm not sure if they though I had a kid in it or were just oggling but I most definitely noticed an increase in passing space given.
