The max weight limit for no trailer brakes is 1500/2000# isn't it. Also no matter the cause the driver is going to be issued a citation. Unsecured load at minimum and most likely a vehicular manslaughter charge.
Towing anything is not a joke as we have seen many times. I feel everyone should have to hold a upgraded driver's license and be tested as to their ability to be able to handle a vehicle towing anything, even a small utility trailer.
How many people regularly inspect their safety chains, correctly attache the brake away cable and then stop and re inspect you're set up after 50 miles?
I just bought new chain for my boat trailer. There are three safety chains two attach to the truck and there is one that attaches to the boat along with the winch cable.
