... Not funny to the driver of the tow vehicle I suppose - but would make good required watching for the guys who recklessly and seriously overload their trucks.



And how would YOU have liked to be traveling with your family BEHIND that guy?

Why do insurance companies let you insure a trailer and tow vehicle that are not matched? It seems they should be obligated to assure that the weight rating the your tow vehicle is enough to handle the trailer they are insuring. These are both published numbers and it shouldn't take rocket science to figure it out. That would be a lot better than pulling the plug after you have an accident.

funny

looks like the time when I was a kid, I got the bright idea to move the

bass boat with the 7. 5 horse riding mower - pulling uphill small problem,

stopping on hill, big problem! Jack-knifed and pushed me to the bottom of

the driveway - clean drawers time...
