New trailer hitch law in NY?

[grnspot110]

Just being sarcastic!

I do pull doubles here, but not out of state.

Went past three state patrolmen beside the raod with this load a few years ago: ~~ Lowell

It some ways it's a good thing (protects you from a rear end hit somewhat) but a bad thing (can kill someone in a small car that hits you). I take mine out of my 1 ton when I'm not pulling anything. I don't want death of a cager on my conscience. Years ago I had a young girl rear end me in another truck and she impaled herself on the receiver hitch. They had to pull the car off and she got hurt too. Since then I pull it.

A thread about a nonexistent law which was debunked in post #3.

Only @ TBN could that turn into 5 pages (so far).

Exactly. And I get crucified for complaining about 1200 posts and umpteen pages on showing what others are doing wrong while towing/hauling. Sometimes enough is enough.
Get ready Rick. Now you'll be told about how you don't have to read it, you can bypass it and yada yada yada.

I'm not going to complain about anything with this thread or anyone's opinions in it.

Just remember we are taking about NY where it's like they pass crap laws just for that sake of passing it.

I learned we now have the "tiger selfie" law were you can't take pictures of yourself and have a "big cat" in the picture with you.

Lets not forget the NY safe Act, all the BS that Bloomberg pushed though NYC over the last couple of years. He attacked salt, soda, baby formula, leaving your car running (not his of course), transfats, and lately it seems like you can't drive very far in NY without seeing a road block checking for reg and inspection. NY has also changed hunting and fishing licenses just this year and it seems like every couple of years they change CDL rules on some level.

Is it any wonder rumors like this don't go away.

Neither myself nor JJZ 109 need explanations on NY politics. We are both live right here.

The endless prattle about something that doesn't exist to begin with is absurd.

I always kept the hitch in the receiver until this new truck.. They don't have to make a law the truck manufactors fix that. New truck has a backup camera (which I luv) but with it came "rear park assist" Everytime I start the truck with a hitch attached, it beeps flashes and tells me something is back ther (no sh**) until I hit the park button. So I remove it between tows just to keep my sanity

Must be useful for backing into a trailer to hookup!!!

Same thing with my 2013. Leave the hitch in and the warning pops up saying park assist blocked. Back up camera works excellent. Also says park assist blocked when towing trailer. Have to turn it off by pressing button.
