If your car does not have a parking brake do you leave it in gear or just rely on the straps to secure it?

FWIW I have always trailered in gear - but I tighten all the straps while in neutral. The car moves around substantially when you are cinching it down.
My rationale is if a strap or two ever let go, I don't want the car to roll around (or totally off the trailer). If I had an enclosed trailer I'd probably chock the wheels and leave it in neutral, but I'm talking open trailer. Also, I do not cross the straps, and on longer tows I stop around the midpoint (if not more) to check and re-cinch. |
