That is correct and fuel must be in DOT approved containers. Some of the plastic jugs are not and if the officer is not a pleasant person he will check them. Battery charged for break away? Chains to long and dragging ground or twisted several times to take up slack is a violation.

Pulling a trailer in CA you only get 2 right lanes. I got a ticket on this one when there were 2 lanes and it went to 3 lanes and I passed a group of cars on the far left lane.
