Keep in mind the light was reprogrammed 4 days later because it was found that the yellow only lasted 1 to 2 seconds.
Almost 10 years ago, and I am STILL trying to figure out how that was my fault.

I'm not used to lights, fenders, brakes, or registration, and concepts like tongue weight, and correctly matched ball and coupler are only periodically considered. Suffice it to say, we don't drag 'em down the highway if we don't have to.

YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID ......................

My perspective: Analyse all accidents and categorize the causes. Who would be surprised that the most common cause is . . . STUPID PEOPLE. I propose that we have a "three strikes" law on stupidity. We all do something stupid now & then, but once a person hits the third stupid act, I propose capital punishment to improve the gene pool.
I have to go off & calm down now . . .

I did.
I might go back just to see if this particular "ROAD CLOWN" has ever heard of meta-tags...

that guy evidently just crawled out of his mothers basement, foresaking the dungeons and dragons to try and become a member of society. it failed, better crawl back in and start rolling dice again. he needs a hobby, maybe like ************. in fact if he had ever seen a v....., he wouldnt be nearly as preoccupied with this mess. to bad for him.

I sent this nutjob a polite email, pointing out that perhaps insufficient attention span on his part might have been the problem and not to pass this off on to the world around him. Whoa, Nellie! Got a 'blast-o-gram' in response,flames and all. It seems he did take responsibility for it and it cost him dearly in insurance and blah,blah,blah.... To make his point he attached a 14 page .pdf file that was a crashteam report on this. Funny thing it had nothing at all to do with his original problem and most of the other problems stated on his web site. Glad I don't live in his state.

They guy must be blind as I can see the lights where he says he can't, can tell how far the trailer is by the ramp, and can tell that he tailgates. Which is safer, a trailer with a light out or a guy on a busy road taking pictures while driving?
And does he know that the pintle hitch is probably the strongest and safest one?
