Re: safety chains and the laws

I was taught to cross chains when I learned to hitch a trailer. But it was much later I was shown to hook the chains facing backwards. In other words, don't just drop the hook into the hole. You go under the hole and hook up into the hole with the open part of the hook facing rearward. Way less likely for the chain to hop out of the hole. Rare chance, but everything that reduces odds helps
