46.2-1116)

Except as provided in this section and § 46.2-1117, no motor vehicle shall be

vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer unless such vehicle is being operated under a
special permit from the Commissioner of Highways. This limitation, however,

combination of vehicles coupled together by a saddle mount device used to
transport motor vehicles in a drive-away service when not more than two saddle
mounts are used. Vehicles coupled together by not more than three saddle mounts
shall not exceed 75 feet when operated on any primary highway as designated by
the Commonwealth Transportation Board and shall not exceed 97 feet when operated
on the National Network of interstate and primary highways as designated under
23 CFR 658.5, as amended. Use of saddle mounts as provided in this section shall
be in conformity with safety regulations adopted by the federal Department of
Transportation.
		The Commissioner of Highways shall designate reasonable access to terminals
and facilities for food, fuel, repairs, and rest.
		The governing body of any city may by ordinance permit motor vehicles to be
driven on the highways of their respective cities while drawing or having
attached thereto more than one other vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer.
