This has come up many times on this forum. I don't recall ever seeing any state that had a law that referenced supplemental brakes on a towed car. Lots of references to a trailer but no cars. If you have anything stating it I am sure lots of people here would love to see it.
...Way2roll, I definitely appreciate you debunking the myths and BS that are coming up here for the zillionth time. :)
However, at the same time, I don't want to see this thread go the way sooo many have, and turn into just a debate between the legal liability 'police' and the rest of us that live in the real world.
I am well aware of the reality of how towing laws, insurance, and liabilities work. Rest assured if I thought this caused a real, serious liability issue, or truly violated any law, I would not even be considering it.
