Massachusetts trailer hitch rule

chachee52 · 04-27-2024, 05:29 PM

It's a rule just like head light have to be on when the windsield wipers are on. On the books but not inforced. I had one on my car (ball was off so it was just the step) and a car rear ended me on the highway. Hitch went right through the bumper and into the radiator. I was heading to the Buffett concert. Cop got my info and said "get out of here and call her insurance".
And if they ever do pull you over just tell them you are on your way to pick a trailer up or dropping on off.
Just like the can't have a fire pit in most MA, and some NH cities unless you are cooking. AKA always have marshmellows or a hot dog on a stick near by. This is only enforced if a neightbor calls and complains.
And another MA law on the books, it's unlawful to put tomatoes in clam chowder. And you can only shoot someone in Boston in the Commons if the Mayor is invited (or govenor I forget).
In VT you aren't allowed to tie an elephant to a telephone pole on Sundays.
I'd have to look back for the stupid NH ones. It's been a while since I looked at that book.

OK most are really stupid. However putting tomatoes in clam chowder is defiantly a felony!
