At least if the unlikely event of a break away ever occurs, I know my toad's brakes will be locking up to possibly prevent a disaster. A toad with a Ready brake will be veering to God only knows where.
While we are playing the "WHAT IF" game, what do you suppose would happen if your toad broke away, and the brakes locked, on a California freeway at 55 MPH (the legal limit for combination vehicles)? Consider the poor soccer mom behind you, with her SUV full of kids, who suddenly has YOUR towed vehicle screeching to a stop right in front of her! All four lanes are pretty much bumper-to-bumper, and she has no place to go! She hits your toad, the car behind her hits her, and so on.
If your towed vehicle breaks away, the result isn't going to be pretty, no matter what! Brakes or no brakes, it really doesn't matter!
In fact, it could be said that the ONLY truly SAFE thing is to never tow a vehicle four down!
I don't think anybody is ready to do THAT!!
