Avoiding trailer and bumper collision when reversing.
When reversing a car and trailer, what is the maximum angle the trailer can be at, before continued reversing will cause the trailer to eventually hit the car? 45 degrees?

Apart from using your eyes is there anything on the market to warn of imminent contact between trailer and car when reversing?

Got to be honest, when reversing at an angle this is always a concern for me.
