VA double towing penalty?
I'm fully aware that double towing in VA is illegal. I know that when stopped the LEO will make you leave one trailer and continue on without it. I'm wondering if that's the only consequence. Does any...

Thank to kaydeejay for that DMV link. The important part I got our of reading that was that even the commercial guys pulling 2 pup trailers can only go on the interstate and certain "designated" highways. It hadn't occurred to me but I don't see the double trailer commercial rigs on any of the secondary roads and all of their terminals are right beside the interstate.
So, even if I went to all the trouble to make my truck and trailers commercial I still couldn't get to the lake.
I got an off forum response telling me I would likely be put out of service and given a reckless driving ticket. That's not what I was hoping for. I could have dealt with a simple $100 fine or something.
I guess my best bet is to get with the local trailer dealers and my VA government representative and see if I can get the law changed. I should have done that when we had a republican governor. I bet it's less likely to happen now.
