Where are these laws published that "they" can enforce? Just curious.
The hitch I have on my Golf is essentially the same one Volkswagen themselves sells as an accessory (it is even in ETKA). I know I'm not in Europe, so spare me that rant. But I'd like to see the individual states' laws regarding tow limits, or GCVR or what have you. Because I've probably driven through at least 30 states over the years with my tow dolly and while I have never towed anything that weighed MORE than the car I was using, I'm sure it was pretty close, and I've never once been stopped.
Plus, every evening just about, we have Central Americans cruising down I-44 dragging all kinds of used cars from auctions back home with them headed through Mexico, even schoolbuses that are sometimes towing ANOTHER schoolbus dinghy style behind them. Should the state patrol be alerted in all the states they pass through be alerted?
I've never once had an accident, driven well over a million miles now in my life, probably 2 million. When I tow, I drive extra careful, regardless. I've never once put myself or anyone else in dire danger that I am aware of, nor have I ever once had any "close calls". All my lights and brakes are in good order, never broken down, never held up traffic, etc. So if I am breaking a law, I'd like to know which one. Not saying I'm not, I just want to know. I know I am breaking the law doing 80 in a 70, there are signs that tell me so.
