What happens when you leave a handbrake on?
It’s easy to do and we bet you’ve probably done it, but leaving you handbrake on and towing your trailer a number of miles could potentially damage the braking system 😱
It happened here and thankfully the owner was conscious enough to get in contact with us for immediate check over, a scorched, overheated drum can be seen in these photos.
