I recently read a story online from the Minneapolis Star Tribune about a woman killed by an SUV at Forestville State Park. After reading the posted comments, I visited your site and then did some web surfing of my own and came across this site: www.freetrip.com/rules_fr1.html.
It's vague, but it shows just how unregulated the towing laws are. I am absolutely appalled. My dad built a utility trailer that we use to haul our camping gear. We never pull out of the driveway without going through the checklist: pin, chains, breakaway, working lights, tire check, tarp securely fastened all the way around, etc.
It's a damn shame that more people (both private and commercial) don't take the responsibility of keeping themselves and others safe. Bravo for your efforts and research. I appreciate your website. Keep up the good work!!! Paula
