Break-away required???
Can someone tell me or point me?? Is a break-away brake system required in all states as far as flat towing or does it vary by weight / state or???????????? Thanks for any help:)

Let's say I am pulling a boat that is 2900# and doesn't require trailer brakes. If it breaks loose and keeps rolling, does that make it any better than my toad breaking loose and continuing to roll? Both are dangerous and could kill someone. I would be legal either way. Louisiana has different laws for toads than they do for trailers. I looked it up as well. People on here preach that everyone should have toad brakes and breakaway systems because it is the "right" and "safe" thing to do. Would those people also say that ALL boat trailers under 3000# should follow the same rules? Are there any braking system advocates on here that pull a boat trailer without brakes? Why or why not? Not trying to flame anyone, but if having brakes and breakaway systems is the right thing to do, then shouldn't it be across the board? Is it ok that your toad will not come loose and possibly kill someone, but your boat could?
