[QUOTE="MacFromOK, post: 3553816, member: 40864"] Here's the only legislation I've found with rules about chains. It's dated 1999, but I don't know if that's original or a carry-over from earlier legislation. :anyone: "STATE OF OKLAHOMA 1st Session of the 47th Legislature (1999) SENATE BILL NO. 6 By: Taylor" Req. No. 24 Page 3 F. Every trailer, semitrailer or manufactured home shall be equipped with a coupling device which shall be so designed and constructed that the trailer, semitrailer or manufactured home will follow substantially in the path of the vehicle drawing it without whipping or swerving from side to side. In addition, every such trailer, semitrailer or manufactured home, except a semitrailer drawn by a truck-tractor type designed to draw or support the front end of a semitrailer, shall be coupled with: 1. Stay chains or cables to the vehicle by which it is being drawn, which chains or cable shall be of sufficient size and strength to prevent parting from the drawing vehicle, should the regular coupling device break or become otherwise disengaged; or 2. Chains or cables or a safety device which provides strength, security of attachment and directional stability equal to or greater than that provided by safety chains and which prevent parting from the drawing vehicle should the regular coupling device break or otherwise become disengaged. This device shall be designed, constructed, and installed so that if the tow-bar fails or becomes disconnected the tow-bar will not drop to the ground.
