The "less traction" statement is ridiculous. Yes, there's less friction. There's also (proportionally) less Kinetic Energy in the truck and (proportionally) less work to be done in stopping the truck.

I'll buy it - never underestimate the amount of energy stored in your suspension while braking
While uncommon - jackknifing is more likely to happen on an empty trailer...
As far as higher accident risk... We'll see how insurance rates change after the law goes into effect... If anyone knows - the insurance agency will.
