Virginia law generally prohibits driving a motor vehicle on highways while pulling more than one trailer or motor vehicle unless under a special permit. Exceptions include farm trailers moved within a 10-mile radius between farms owned by the same person, and certain vehicle combinations using saddle mounts that meet length and safety standards. Local city governments may also permit additional trailer configurations through ordinances.
