Laws about TOADS?

We're back! The Miata towed just fine backwards with the steering wheel strapped down in position. We used a 1 x 2 from door-to-door with hose clamps to hold it to the steering wheel and strapped it straight with a cinch-strap to tighten it securely and avoid vibration. We had a car to visit family in San Francisco and a place to stay-- "Our little cottage on wheels". We had a beautiful campsite on the ocean and lots of time to visit the grandchildren. As for the speed limit of 55, it was fine but someone should tell the truckers about it. They were all passing us. Would I recommend towing backwards? No. The camper engine was getting too warm on some hills which meant no air conditioner the days we moved the whole rig. The tow dolly is for sale. Obviously. :)
