I am curious about the weight Justan was talking about. I bet mine is less than that (36v with 6 batteries). Other than the motor/transxle itself, the rest is all aluminum angle and fiberglass.

Try this instead: http://www.ironhorsetrailers.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/towing-a-ironhorse-trailer.jpg Our trailers have to be licensed...which needs to be renewed each year at $40.00 + HST = #46.00 We also have to have then safety checked every two years. Until a few years ago it was a yearly inspection. I tow at the sensible speed of 90km but sometimes creep up to 100km on the 100 series highways. We license trailers here. Funny, they call it a permanent trailer registration, but have to renew every 5 years. I think it is $20. |

My sister drove about 6 miles on a blown tire but when she got home the tire was pretty much gone. It came off the rim and rolled up into a neighbor's yard when she turned down her street. For the last block there were just 2 grooves in the road from the rim. When I was in high school, we came upon a burning Chrysler Imperial on the freeway. Driver was standing to the side and drunk as hell. Said he had driven from the Bay Bridge toll plaza with the flat tire. Probably 15 miles. Told us he was going to the bar to call the fire department. Good move, would be hard to prove DUI. |

I went through the statutes and several different "trailer" sites with mixed results. I think the confusion is the basic speed law here is the max speed limit is 65MPH (for everything) but if it is an interstate or other limited access divided highway, they bump that up to 70 in another statute. Trailers are not mentioned in either of these statutes and I have never seen a sign about trailer speed, truck speed either. They do have truck lane restrictions tho. Thinking about it, I can see where you are coming from. I looked for "towing max speed laws" and the results come back with 65 mph for Florida and 70 mph where posted. If that's the same as for all vehicles then I can see your point. I'd still get nervous being passed by someone hauling a boat at 80 mph though. :-) Well speed up and I won't have to pass you ;-) I remember one trip to Florida driving down on I-95. Forget where I was but it was at night. I was doing about 70 and suddenly noticed some headlights on a truck coming up really, really fast behind me. It was a boat hauler heading south. Female driver hauling a sailboat that was at least a 35 footer. She went by me doing about 90. Scared the crap out of me. I’d guess that idiots who drive like that are underinsured. Not likely with a commercial truck. |

For a trailer over 4000lbs, a permanent registration is $100. Amen. No renewal needed. |
