All vehicles of 3,000 pounds or more are required to have a brake system that makes them break as a response to the breaking of the vehicle's tow.
Explanation:
The reason behind this answer is that vehicles of more than 3,000 pounds are extremely dangerous and difficult to control. Therefore, when the tow breaks the automatic brake system is required. Because they are too big to be controlled, and if they are left without a brake system to reduce their damage they can destroy entire houses or other cars if this mechanism is not implemented.
