towing safety standards

Towing safety standards ensure that trailers and towing equipment are designed, tested, and used properly to prevent accidents. These standards cover proper hitch strength, weight limits, brake systems, brake lights, and secure connections. They also specify regular inspections and maintenance to keep everything in safe working order. Following these guidelines reduces the risk of trailer detachment, brake failure, or sway during towing, protecting both the driver and others on the road. Adhering to established safety standards is essential for safe and reliable towing practices.
