You can NOT just make a blanket statement that my state does NOT allow it or that a certain requirement must be met for it to happen.
A good example is one western state says that RV's are not allowed to double tow, but they also make an exception that is buried in the small print. You can double tow in that state, IF, you are going from a state that allows it, to another that allows it and you travel the most direct route. I read their law several times and NEVER saw the exception, until it was pointed out to me by a state Trooper.
