I am now on my second trailer, and never have pulled it.
I have always had a fear that the brakes would lock up.
Any one else feel the same !

It is a very important AND REQUIRED SAFETY DEVICE.
I agree it is very important, however it isn't REQUIRED by law everywhere.
OK, EXCEPT FOR CANADA..

It however IS REQUIRED BY LAW FOR ALL 50 US STATES PER FEDERAL LAWS FOR ANY TRAILER OF 3,001 lbs IN WHICH TRAILER BRAKES ARE ALSO REQUIRED.
Some US States have adopted a bit more stringent requirement of 2,001 lbs and higher..
But in Canada where YOU are, no, there are a couple of STUPID exceptions. But why put YOURSELF OUT and MAKE YOUR RIG SAFER FOR ALL DRIVERS AND USE THE BRAKES AND BREAKAWAY SYSTEM..
