In 1971 J. Standard Baker Quoted " Drivers Towing Trailers  Are Four (4) Times As Unsafe As Those In Cars Alone! 

A tractor-trailer carrying two horses flipped over on the Cross Bronx Expressway early Thursday, killing one of the animals, officials said.

The tractor trailer was nearing exit 9 near Harding Ave. in Throggs Neck when the driver lost control of the rig about 2 a.m. The truck careened off the road, overturned and slid for more than 100 yards before slamming into a divider, officials said.

Medics took the driver and a passenger to Jacobi Medical Center with minor injuries.

One horse died at the scene. Members of the NYPD Mounted Unit were called in with a horse trailer to take the surviving horse, a pony, to an undisclosed location for treatment.

No National Drives Testing Standard...No a single DMV in all 50 States wants to address "How to Tow"  Why?  Over 2,000 horses will be killed like this in 2019 and over 600 men, women and children will be killed by a "Passenger Vehicle Towing A Trailer"  Note This Was Not A Tractor Trailer.
