Toad brakes

This topic gets beat to death about once a week. I have yet to see any evidence where an aux braking system prevented an accident that would have otherwise occurred. Not saying that it doesn't happen but there is simply no data that I have seen, and I have asked on here repeatedly. The bottom line is; the law is the law and it's contingent on the state you are in. If the law in a state you'll be travelling says you need brakes, then you need brakes. Not sure why this is such a heated debate. Err on the side of caution, but some folks on here snubbing others for not having brakes when the states they are in don't require them, and in some cases they just don't need them, need to chill. There is a reason they sell dolly's without brakes and why tow bars and brakes come in separate systems and not integrated. Because some folks just don't need them. But stick to the law or whatever helps you sleep. There is a lot of doom and gloom on this topic and frankly I haven't seen much in the way of supporting evidence. Everyone one of us could do a thousand things to make their rig a little safer, stop a little faster etc. All the "what if this happens, or what if that happens" could go on forever.
