On average 7 people are killed and 45 seriously injured in accidents involving light trailers each year so having your trailer right is very important to keep you and other road users safe. While you may not be fined for towing a trailer between 750kg and 2000kg without brakes, if your vehicle unbraked tow rating is less that the weight of the trailer then you could be fined for unsafe loading.
