Before you hitch up that trailer, a quick safety check can save you from a world of trouble. Walk around and inspect the hitch coupling, safety chains, and breakaway cable—these are your lifelines. Verify the trailer lights work for turn signals, brakes, and running lights. Check tire pressure and lug nuts are tight. Give the load a shake to make sure it's tied down well. Then test your mirrors to ensure you can see around the rig. It's a small routine that makes every trip safer.
