It wasn't, was it?

Did you not notice the bit where I said "at all"?

For clarification, that means the trailer should never be on the
road, under any circumstance.

Why?

Because if it's not easily visible to other road users then it presents a
danger to them and you.

The context of 'rammed' was given in my message: "A numpty motorist,
not paying proper attention, and ramming the trailer."
You use the very Dougite term "rammed" (which implies a deliberate
act).
Time for an online poll.

In the following context, who thinks the word "ramming" implies a
deliberate act?

===== Begin =====
A numpty motorist, not paying proper attention, and ramming the
trailer.
===== End =====

Yes, the word ramming does indicate a deliberate act.




Definate yes

Surely you would have it properly marked, perhaps with a board
across the back with lights and other markers, to ensure it is as
visible as is humanly possible?
No.

I can recall very clearly. The fact that I used a motor vehicle to
pick up five bikes because I would feel uncomfortable hauling an
unladen trailer.

Now, can you also remember why you would feel unconfortable hauling an
unladen trailer?
