Quote: There has been a rash of accidents across the country lately involving towing.
Not sure I agree with the "rash" part. If coming from the enforcers, it sounds a little self serving or a basis for job security.
Like Bob stated earlier, there was an accident here recently that a wood chipper disconnected from the truck towing it, hit a minivan and killed almost an entire family, including children. Enforcement has been stepped up around here since then.
