If something falls of a trailer and another vehicle hits it ... where would (you hope) the fault lay ... with the driver towing the trailer or the vehicle that hit the "Something" ...
There was a high profile case few years ago where someone’s departed trailer killed someone. Apparently due to legal vagaries the driver got away scot free as they were not “towing” or in control of the trailer FFS!!!
Pisses me off even more that there have been displays of these type of events on highway cops tv show and the cops are super nice to the offender like it’s no big deal hence why no one gives a damn. In my truck I would be guaranteed to see at least one boat trailer or caravan at roadside start of holiday weekends with a lost wheel... happens too often.
Entirely the fault of the owner for not pre trip inspecting or doing maintainance and completely unacceptable.
