Towing without brakes in the OP's scenario is negligence and illegal in most places.

Go to a Home Depot or a Lowe's home center and look around the parking lot at the vehicles and utility trailers the locals are using. Most utility trailers are well under the 3000 pound limit and don't have any kind of brakes. Just walk by and see if any of them have a break-away cable or a battery connected to run the break-away. I bet they don't.
Not to be a smart A$$ here, but if they don't require break away, why should your toad if it's total weight is under 3000 pounds???? Unless there is a specific law written requiring towed vehicles to have operational breaks while in tow? Check with your DMV?

It is a matter of physics, not logic.
The insurance carrier cannot deny coverage unless it specifically states in the policy vehicles without supplemental braking are not covered, if the driver of the vehicle is breaking any law there is no coverage, or words to that effect. The insurance carrier cannot just deny coverage because a vehicle could not stop quick enough. That doesn't make sense.
It's really simple logic. If both vehicles have brakes, the emergency stopping distance will be shorter "than" if only one has brakes.

I don't think that is what you wanted to say? /
Should have proof read it before I submitted it.:S
Of course I meant:

Thanks for catching that for me.
