  1. Unless you were driving with a 70mph wind at your back, the apparent wind would be pretty strong and blow you off.  Also, the trailer roof would have to be be pretty strong to support that much weight.  I think your average trailer would get crushed.


  2. Yes i'll let you know how when my husband gets home from work.

  3. Supposing that the car you are trying to get on the trailer is high enough not to get itself stranded while doing this and that the truck has a constant speed, it shouldn't be too hard.

  4. Yes id say its possible. The factors that are responsible assuming you solve the problem of getting on top of it are mainly the fact that to avoid your car slipping once its parked, the surface of the roof where they contact the tyres must exert sufficient static friction force to stop your car sliding off the back.

    SO if the surface has high coefficient of static friction, then id say you have a decent chance, assuming the trailer is not accelerating.

    However with that said, i am an optimist, and am not encouraging you to conduct an experiment on the interstate....

  5. have you ever seen beavis and butthead do america.(if not never mind)

    anyway

    your wheels would have a hard time with the speed difference.
