Sometimes cars break down. Trailers can differ quite dramatically in size and weight — especially when you consider the fact that, technically, everything from a small camping trailer to a large touring caravan can be classed as one. Also, your tow vehicle's tires may require a higher pressure for towing, as outlined in the owner's manual.
A vehicle driven a mile or two may not suffer extensive damage but we feel the gamble is not worth it. One of the very first things tow truck drivers are taught, is not to tow with the drive wheels turning with an automatic transmission. The most important thing that you can do when towing a trailer is to make sure that you have properly attached everything to your car.

Most people are unaware of their rights when it comes to a vehicle repossession so they usually don't report someone who has not followed proper procedure, however, If you do not send the certified letter notifying them of their default and giving them opportunity to make payment they have grounds to report you to the state's DMV Dealer Services and the state's Attorney General which can result in you being fined as well as taken to court for violating repossession laws.
The Freedom Latch releases the tow bar at any angle, level or bind the first time, every time. If the distance between the two vehicles exceeds 1.5 metres then the rope or chain must be made clearly visible within a reasonable distance from either side to other road users.
If you don't know a mechanic on site you should immediately call the towing company and move your car to the garage as soon as possible. If you have more than one bike to haul you can get trailers with two or more channels to carry two or more bikes. In most towing setups, safety cables link two or three components together.
