While this story is a good story you should also address why the Carry On trailer company tried to undo the Reflector tape law in Virginia because it cost them about 7 dollars to comply. Do you know that any trailer in Virginia under 3,000 pounds are un regulated? Go to www.dangeroustrailers.org Carry on trailers have spent over 8,000 dollars to stop any effort to regulate Utility Trailers... They spent it on Delegate Pollard and Delegate Whittman. He is so powerful he stoped this....
"HOWEVER, VIRGINIA STATE CODE IS SILENT AS TO ANY DESIGN OR CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS FOR THOSE VEHICLES OR FOR TOWING CHAINS AND HITCHES. The purpose of this TECHNICAL ALERT is to draw attention to the POTENTIAL dangers of unsafe trailers on roadways in the Commonwealth. In many cases, towed trailers may be in OBVIOUS violations of safety codes that relate to lighting, braking and inspection requirements. Wherever possible, LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS should be trained in ways to quickly and easily identify such vehicles. In other cases, a trailer may meet all legal requirements but still be hazardous when used in transportation. THE TEAM RECOMMENDS THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES, THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE POLICE AND OR MEMBERS OF THE VIRGINIA GENERAL ASSEMBLY REVIEW THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATIVE CODE AND CONSIDER WAYS TO IMPROVE SAFETY WITH REGARD TO TRAILERS OPERATED ON VIRGINIA ROADS. You call that being a good corporate citizen??? This company has cost my family our finicial security over this. |

One time I launched my bass boat and forgot to take it off the trailer. It sure was sluggish that day. It wasn't my fault. I was drunk.
