Despite that, it is something I could see myself doing. So could most of us. I'd think about it, and might not do it, but it is the kind of thing I have done over the years.

You are correct. You can see it's a white license plate in the video version of the story. Someone colored and blurred it for the picture for some reason, maybe to protect the innocent trailer hauler?

Well I did not get a picture of what was being towed. Just got to see the results. Apparently a tire went bad and the the driver kept on. Soon it was down to the rim. The rim sent of sparks setting numerous fires for a mile and a half in the ditch and adjacent properties. Took several fire trucks to get such a long area under control. The sparks and fires quit only when they left the asphalt road onto a gravel road.
A black strip showed the tire going bad, you can see in a picture the whitish mark left near the center strip as the rim started running on the pavement. Fortunately it was not the passenger side or more sparks would have hit the ditch.. A recent rain helped with keeping this from being worse.

Recently I saw a small sedan with a john boat sitting on the roof on a blanket and strapped down with two cheesy straps going through the car. Nothing front to back. One quick stop and it would have slid into whatever was in front of it. I guess you can launch it quickly that way.
