Yes it is expensive but we have used the same toad and braking system for many years, have traveled many miles, including cross country and would never think of not having a braking system for the toad.
Probably the police will never stop you to check if you have a braking system, but if you get in an accident you can be sure that is one of the first things they will want to know.

I have decided NOT to toad because I do not want to deal with the restrictions. I just wonder how many toads are being tower WITHOUT an auxiliary braking system. When I was young (around 20), I towed several vehicles with another vehicle and boy was it unsafe. With a proper tow hitch on the freeway above 55 mph it was very unstable. The braking systems are the ONLY way to travel, for you and your surrounding drivers.
