(a) No trailer or semitrailer with a gross weight of 3,000 or more pounds, or a gross vehicle weight that exceeds the empty weight of the towing vehicle, may be drawn on a highway unless it is equipped with brakes that are adequate to control the movement of and to stop and hold the trailer or semitrailer. A surge brake on a trailer or semitrailer meets the requirement of this paragraph for brakes adequate to stop and hold the trailer or semitrailer. (b) No trailer or semitrailer with a gross vehicle weight of more than 3,000 pounds may be drawn on a highway unless it is equipped with brakes that are so constructed that they are adequate to stop and hold the trailer or semitrailer whenever it becomes detached from the towing vehicle. (c) Except as provided in paragraph (d), paragraph (a) does not apply to: (1) a towed custom service vehicle drawn by a motor vehicle that is equipped with brakes that meet the standards of subdivision 5, provided that such a towed custom service vehicle that exceeds 30,000 pounds gross weight may not be drawn at a speed of more than 45 miles per hour; (2) a motor vehicle drawn by another motor vehicle that is equipped with brakes that meet the standards of subdivision 5; (3) a disabled vehicle while being towed to a place of repair. (d) Vehicles described in paragraph (c), clause(2), may be operated without complying with paragraph (a) only if the trailer or semitrailer does not exceed the following gross weights: (1) 3,000 pounds while being drawn by a vehicle registered as a passenger automobile, other than a pickup truck as defined in section 168.011, subdivision 29; (2) 12,000 pounds while being drawn by any other motor vehicle.
