Please, ALWAYS apply the trailer brake when dropping a trailer.

If you don’t, you deserve to be sacked.

You could kill someone or put them in a wheelchair for ever.

I always apply the handbrake.

It is the responsibility of the driver coupling up to CHECK the KNOB!

Especially if split coupling which is probably the only way anything serious could happen unless the driver doesn’t couple up properly.

A solo trailer will never start rolling whilst uncoupled

Good - That’s what it’s there for.

I only do split coupling - fridge or no fridge - I like plenty of room to work.

I don’t want to be covered in grease or struggling to connect the red.

That could have killed a man - think of all the paperwork involved in that.

. . . And they would have charged you for manslaughter if you did not
check the brake for yourself.

Why? you never heard of a spring brake?Only time trailer wil roll away is if some “knob” couples up without the hand brake on and as far as I can see thats down to them .

So it was your own fault . You didn’t check the park break before picking up

Surely everyone knows to do the walk around check on the trailer BEFORE reversing under it?

Part of that walk round check is of course to make sure the parking brake is on, but also it’s pointless coupling up to a trailer if its out of test, damaged, has flat of split tyres etc etc.

Also by checking before you back under, you can see if the trailer is too high and you could miss the pin. I know it’s very rare, but it can always happen.

The only way that could happen is if the shunt valve was in.

Very naughty.
