I often see the question "Does my towed need a braking system"
Now in this story it was a cargo trailer... But fact is, when you hook a car behind a motor home it is ... The same as a trailer.. in fact... Reading the definition of "Trailer" in the Michigan vehicle code, it fits 100% (A true trailer does not, but is covered under other language).
(NOTE: Michigan is the only vehicle code I have on hard drive).
Not only is the driver facing possible criminal charges but the wrongful death civil suit can easily make one shudder as well.. Brakes on the trailer.. Important.
