But the cocky dummy insists he doesn't need them. After all the safety advice I tried to give him, I now hope he gets a sway up and rides the whole lot off. Good buy 180,000. Be the ultimate I tolled you so. Every body knows its 500kg unbraked and what ever the weight the vehicle in question allows with braked.
His van would have electric brakes, but he obviously doesn't have a controller in his car.
Quite a dangerous scenario really, a 100k van is likely to be well over 2000kg, so he's relying on the car to pull up most likely more than 5t.

Dob him into your roads authority before he kills someone with it.
