Just reinforces my belief that people who tow need an endorsement.

Yep, and if you cannot back it, don't tow it.

X2.

Best thing to do in that situation is to actually accelerate.

That's the prevailing opinion, certainly. I would prefer to have user operated trailer brakes to pull the thing back into line. Whichever, it's another reason to have training and endorsements. It's amazing how many people think attaching more than three tonnes of van or boat to the back of their car won't change it's driving characteristics, truly amazing.
