Yes, Karen
And I don't care what the conditions are. I was in traffic going 70+ mph 
and I went 60 with my trailer and got a ticket (and had to spend a day 
in traffic school to erase it--- what a bore!!) so do not speed with a 
trailer in CA no matter what--- also he got me for having a chain that 
was too light. I explained that it came on the trailer and he replied 
that all dealerships sell trailers with the cheapest chains--- not heavy 
enough and that those little trucks with CHP tattooed on them spend all 
day looking for infractions of trailer laws--- he let me slide on that 
one but he said the trucks wouldn't have so beware. CA is hurting for 
money now-- I would expect a LOT more tickets are going to be written up 
now.
Now if Arnie gets elected, they may just terminate us if we break a law! ;-)
