Rules of the Road

Why must safety chains be crossed when towing a trailer?

Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: C. To catch the trailer tongue if it disconnects, preventing it from hitting the road

Safety chains are crossed under the trailer tongue so that if the trailer separates from the hitch, the tongue is caught by the chains and does not drop to the road surface, which could cause a serious accident.
