The other camp is for those that insist there's not a requirement because towed cars are not specifically referenced. I'm in the camp that would apply trailer towing requirements if towed vehicles aren't specifically stated in the law.

In our letigious society I just wouldn't have a towed vehicle not equipped with a break-away braking system.
I agree here, of course, and should have mentioned the need for the breakaway system as well. At least two, I think, have mentioned that their tow car got away (unhitched) somehow. When we had our front tire blowout this summer our towed jeep did not break away, but if it had, without a breakaway system, things would been much worse and perhaps tragic, given the speed when the coach hung a severe left into the median. Thanks, Gil, for bringing that up.

Take care.
