Stopping is not so easy. Controlling the rig in the event of a cross-wind or emergency is also not so easy. Just because you got the load rolling and just because you didn't have an accident doesn't mean what you did was smart, or legal. Your rig's total weight was certainly over the Optra5's CGVW (Combined Gross Vehicle Weight) rating. As such, if you had been involved in an accident you could have automatically been found at fault. Keep that in mind the next time you think about doing this. Now that you know, you could even be found to be "willfully" responsible, and this would be very bad for you if someone is injured or killed as a result of your bad towing decision. You could end up facing manslaughter charges - the same way a drunk can face manslaughter charges if they kill someone while driving drunk. Getting the rig rolling is easy. Stopping is not so easy.
