Passing target: 75% in each of the three areas
Your trailer has no independent braking system that would stop it if it separated from the towing vehicle. What is the purpose of the required safety chain or cable?
A close-up shows a trailer coupler seated on a tow ball, two attached safety chains beneath it, and a separate electrical lead. No breakaway braking equipment is shown.
Correct answer: To hold the trailer to the vehicle if the hitch fails.
Why
For the trailer described, use a chain or cable that connects it directly and securely to the towing vehicle. It must be strong enough to retain the trailer if the hitch breaks. Do not confuse it with the electrical lead or treat it as a substitute for the main hitch. The question states the condition that makes this device required.
