Towing Turmoil

A truck with a notable attachment: a boat is roaring down the highway. But this is no’t your standard towing scene. Instead of the boat sitting upright on its trailer, it is precariously flipped to its side, turning heads and raising eyebrows from fellow highway travelers. Towing a boat correctly is essential for the boat’s safety and for all drivers on the road.

The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends ensuring that the boat’s weight does not exceed the vehicle’s towing capacity and checking that the boat is properly secured to the trailer to prevent accidents like this.
