In California the towed car must have an Auxillary Braking System if that car is more than 1500 pounds!!! I use the BrakeBuddy, but set it so that it will only activate if I stop very quickly.
Do you have any link to support that theory?
He got this info from one of the websites that sell aux brake systems. In California a "camping" trailer is the only towed object that is required to have brakes at 1500 pounds. All other trailers don't require brakes until they are 3000 pounds. Towed motor vehicles only require aux brakes if you can meet the standards in the braking performance charts.
