Towing a trailer — New Hampshire Permit Test
Towing a trailer on the New Hampshire permit test — 2 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.
The rules
All trailers must be equipped with properly mounted wheels, lubricated and covered with fenders or mud guards.
A trailer throws stones and water straight back at whoever is following, and the guards are what stop it.

On the test
What must trailer wheels be covered with?
Fenders or mud guards. A trailer throws stones and water straight back at whoever is following, and the guards are what stop it. New Hampshire Driver's Manual, p.12: “All trailers must be equipped with properly mounted wheels, lubricated and covered with fenders or mud guards.”
How this works
Most practice tests hand you a bank of questions and leave the manual somewhere else. This one puts them together.
You read one law and the reason behind it, then answer a question on that law while it is still fresh. Get it right and you move on; get it wrong and you have found the gap while it is cheap to fix, not on the morning of the exam.
Learning one rule at a time, and proving it immediately, is what turns a manual you skimmed into something you actually know — and it makes studying feel like getting somewhere rather than like waiting to find out.
What it costs
