Vehicle Safety, Documents & TowingStandalone practice
An ordinary car tows a utility trailer using a rear trailer hitch, not a fifth-wheel coupling. What backup connection is required?
Correct answer: Safety chains or cables connected to the towing vehicle.
Why
Attach compliant safety chains, cables or another approved safety device from the trailer to the towing vehicle, strong enough to keep them connected if the hitch fails. Fifth-wheel trailers and specified slow farm equipment have separate exceptions; they are excluded from this question.
