Yeah, that's the solution. More government involvement in our lives. Give me a break.Why are some Americans so afraid of the gov't.? Sometimes regulations are needed to protect the public at large. Spent my entire career following/enforcing extensive and complex regulations aimed at protecting the public and nobody anywhere complains.
Good question at this time of year...July 4th
We Americans are notorious for not liking gov't intervention in our lives.
Did you strike up a conversation? And I don't mean "hey dude, did you know you're gonna' kill somebody with that set up?" Well, if they had been around today, I might have. Ain't gonna hang around outside for the rest of the evening for them.
You sat by and watched them drive in---spotted the issue, watched them set up....Yikes painful to watch/worst ever AND now you don't have time to talk with them
For all you know they towed the trailer from their house a half a mile away just to see how it does for a day or two. Why do you immediately want to jump to the conclusion they don't have any idea what they are doing? Well, they're from Canada and definitely not a 1/2 mile away. Were you there to watch how they set up?
The government has done such a good job with everything else we really need to call on them to teach us how to tow a trailer. Whatever. Safety of the public at large doesn't seem to matter to some.
I think majority of folks rate 'safety' high..just don't believe that the gov't would do a good job. Would be just more of a revenue source vs real safety training. Just like most of the gov't vehicle inspection requirements. Just another fee.
:R
I would be concerned if I saw that set-up..concerned enough to approach and discuss with them. Then I might post here the results good or bad...but that would have been after.
Golden opportunity to help out a fellow RVr
