Rebunked. And even more happy instance, you can have your heinie sued
off even if you weren't cited for excessive carelessness and wanton
stupidity.

Still bunk.
Simply driving, nothing is going to "happen" with this hitch. In a
collision, the violation and/or liability is with the driver at fault for
the collision. Not with the hitch or its owner.
"Home made" has *nothing* to do with it.
Read the law. I cited it earlier. Florida makes absolutely no specific
technical requirements for hitches, only that you have "sufficient strength
to pull all weight towed" and that you have safety chains or other 49 CFR
devices. You can tow with overcooked spaghetti if it has "sufficient
strength".
People tow cars with rope and granny knots every day. Nothing illegal about
it.

Mike Romain is from Canada... It's quite possible that the leftist
government up there has different rules than we have down here...
Personally, I would go with a stronger solution, but that's just my
standards of engineering...

The rules doesn't really matter.
how's the saying go "It's only against the law if your caught"
the OP said he's an Engineer.
I can only hope he's involved in developing
chinese toys and/or Microsoftware, rather than military or worse yet
medical devices. ;-)
