I just want people to be able to stop their trailers when traffic stops! I would hate to be hit by some idiot without enough brakes on the trailer or tow vehicle. I see these tow ratings of 5000# or so one a lightweight, underpowered tow vehicle. My S10 Blazer had that 5000# rating. It barely stopped itself! |

Donnie has convinced himself that his car will stop an extra 2000 lb or so without the benefit of trailer brakes. I sure hope he's right for his wife's sake and the sake of those he shares the highway with. I personally don't care if his boat decides to come through hie rear window. Some folks are bent on getting their education from the school of hard knocks. |

I say driving heavy is as bad as driving drunk or texting, you are taking others lives into your hands for your own selfish reasons.. |

Minimum insurance if any at all. Will not even cover most new car replacement for someone, or the medical costs. Minimum liability in California is only $35K. My truck in 2004 was $48K and the wife's Venza was $36K. You do not have enough extra assets to probably even sue for. My complaint on the Tort system is the disparity in the amount someone can collect for the same damage. I run into and cripple someone, they can get about $2.5 million from my insurance alone. $2 million umbrella policy. You do the same damage to someone, they get $35k insurance, and what little assets you have. |

One of the worst in my opinion is in the winter, snow and ice on the roads, people with FWD think that because they can go, that they can stop. They can't. |
