Toad / Tow Brakes
It is difficult/impossible for any website to keep up with all state laws, so I
would never take them as gospel for a specific state.

I have read warnings about citations, insurance, etc for years and have never
seen a substantiated case to back up the warnings.

BUT - I use a brake with breakaway all of the time, every time. Nothing to do
with laws or insurance. If my toad ever breaks away I want maximum assurance
that it will not go careening at full speed into a headon with some family car!
There may be a collision with my stopped-or-stopping toad, but it will be at
much less impact than a headon.
