We've forgot to double check the tractor trailer was clicked and locked onto the towball. We have a safety chain as well as the emergency brake. We attached everything and went on our merry way. Everytime we pulled away or braked there was a big bang. We pulled into a layby to find the tow bar bashed to hell, numberplate hanging off in pieces but the chain held up. Needless to say we double check it by trying to lift the towhitch on the trailer up. If it is attached then it lifts the lot. This was after a very very long two weeks where the tractor had been sat idle.

I have a phobia of this happening and always check it.
