 Im assuming the brake away cable wasn't attached or was attached in the wrong place ,it was a shit situation, poorly maintained trailer that once was a wooden horse trailer cut down, from memory it was a quite and old bloke thst caused it 

A young lad at my last job was left in the onerous position of having a plant trailer left in a layby some few hundred yards from the site compound. No +E for his B licence then. So he coupled up and started towing down the road but got pulled. Not only did he  get done for the lack of +E but for driving with defective brakes, he hadn't fitted the break away cable. His manager washed his hands of his mistake in not parking trailer in the compound.

That's going to make just about every conversation about everything in an arb day awkward and depressing. All we do is check the other person has secured something.

I don't remember how it came out, certainly not for quite a while and we only worked together for a short time, weeks rather than months, it was 50 years ago.
