State law, then, would *require* that the trailer have brakes
installed, if it were to actually pass the inspection as spelled out.
I'm betting the lights wouldn't pass inspection, either.
Florida doesn't inspect trailers or even title them. If you stay off
the interstate and out of big cities tags are somewhat optional too.
You can get a tag for a "home built" trailer, pretty much by just
writing the check to the tax collector.
I was surprised by that. South Carolina doesn't register their
trailers either. Here, the trailer is registered and is liable to
property tax. Oddly, not boats though.
Go figure.
There is emissions inspection in 6 or 7 big cities but not out here in
the boonies.
Another joke in CT. You can pull into a station with the engine
blowing gobs of blue oil smoke out of it and it will pass as long as
it doesn't emit CO or CO2 in a specified amount for the cars age - not
milage - age.
Believe me - I've seen it happen too.
