Who mentioned 100% infallible under all circumstances ? If you want to run into a motorway bridge support, I can't offer any guarantees.

However, if you think there is a serious risk of 25 tonnes of steel joining you in your cab if you stand on your brakes, then yes, your way that it is done is wrong. If the trailer is too weak to allow enough restraining posts, straps, dunnage, whatever to be fitted, then get a stronger trailer (one size fits all doesn't work and cornflakes aren't the same as sheet metal). If there is always some risk of the load shifting slightly, and the restraints can only hold it up to 30mph say, then don't drive above that speed. Laugh all you want at what you might think is naivety - the principles are simple.
Regular listeners will be more than familiar with your argumentative ranting and raving, and you may well just be having a laugh here, for your own amusement. But to be honest your propensity to go off at a moment's notice makes me at least glad you're not out on the road at the same time I am. If you are 10% as volatile behind the wheel as you are here, you're a danger. To yourself as well as everyone else. Oh, and there's plenty of dangerous drivers who've never been personally involved in an accident. Hopefully you are just amusing yourself.
