unbelievable!!
a good reason for government mandated safety inspections before registration
some provinces in Canada have mandatory annual safety inspections(road safety related) including ALL trailers
We have mandatory safety inspection in Pennsylvania, so a new trailer is inspected before delivery and annually thereafter. My trailer was inspected when new and they missed the fact that one brake was not connected and an axle was bent. If you believe that government controls will solve anything, forget about it. I could write a book about the damage done to my vehicles by those idiots.
On an annual trailer inspection in PA the mechanic is only required to pull 1 wheel per side on a tandem axle setup to inspect the brakes. Then verify the breakaway operation by pulling the pin and checking one wheel. It's not meant to be an overall general maintenance inspection.
