55 MPH while towing on all roads in California
Not a dumb law at all ...
Dates back at least 40 years or more,
was in effect when James Dean was killed.
Considering modern ST trailer tires are
speed rated at 65 MPH - it makes perfect sense.
I tow every day at 55 MPH.
I see accidents happen in front of me all the time.
In my case, the female driver fell asleep at the whhel with the cruise control set at 80 MPH.
She had no skid marks - rear ended me full throtle.
