I use crossed chains, as the law says you must. It also says you must have auto brakes on the trailerI must admit my automatic brakes for emergency breakaway have never worked, I look at those fat safety chains, weight dist. etc and think it's overkill. Illegal huh?How do you know the breakaway brakes don't work? Do you not use safety chains? You need to cross them you know....... the idea being that if the hitch does get undone it will sit on the crossed chains...........instead of screaming along the blacktop. I don't know if it's illegal or not.... to not use them.
