Couple of points, unless you are a trucker it is unlikely you have towed as much as me. Several thousand miles in a year and for 50 years.

I had 2 near misses last year from one driver asleep at the wheel and one that didn't check his rig when passing and would've hit us if I hadn't locked my rig down to miss his trailer. Stay alert on the road folks, no one cares more about your family then you do.
