[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 499620, member: 3775"] Yeah well that's how I have always done it and always believed but over here in the nanny state they tend to keep making Laws that go beyond common sense, either way I am not happy about the fact that Ball weights here are so Low because that is asking for trouble, Where it all goes stupidly wrong is I have hired Car trailers that have a ball weight of over 150kgs even when empty and Horse Boxes that I could not even lift when empty But using the 5 and 10% Rule allows a person to Tow them Safely, But going by Tow ball weight as a guide just does not work and the amount of car and caravan combo's I see going up the highway swaying like crazy is that common here I can't count the times that I have not been able to pass them in fear of getting side swiped, :o :o :o :skull: [/QUOTE]
