Each frame section is substantially planar and has an inner edge and an outer edge, with the inner edge of the first section is hingedly connected to the inner edge of the second section. The shield apparatus also has a first and a second shield panel. The first panel is fastened in parallel planar relation to the first frame section, while the second panel is fastened in parallel planar relation to the second frame section. The panels form a shielding surface extending vertically from the tow bar when the frame sections are mounted in an open position. The first and second panels have a flexible peripheral portion extending beyond the outer edge of their frame sections. Either peripheral portion is adapted to flex when engaged by the rear portion of the towing vehicle when the vehicle's rear portion is caused to turn into either of the peripheral portions.
