CHAPTER 18. The code of the city of Charlottesville,
Virginia, 1945 : | ||
Sec. 57. Trailers and towed vehicles.
(a) No motor vehicle shall be driven upon a highway, drawing
or having attached thereto more than one motor vehicle; provided,
however, the mayor and chief of police may, in their discretion,
permit motor vehicles to be driven upon streets, drawing or having
attached thereto more than one other vehicle, trailer or semi-trailer.
(b) The draw bar or connection between any two vehicles, one
of which is towing or drawing the other on a highway, shall not
exceed ten feet in length from one vehicle to the other. Only in
case of an emergency shall any such connection consist of a chain
or cable, but such two vehicles, when one of which is being towed
or drawn by another regularly shall, in addition to such draw bar,
be equipped at all times when so operated on the highway with an
emergency chain. Whenever in an emergency such connection
consists of a chain, rope or cable, there shall be displayed upon
such connection a red flag, or cloth not less than twelve inches both
in length and width, or if such emergency towing is being done at
night, in lieu of such red flag or cloth, there shall be displayed a
red lamp or lantern.
(c) It shall be unlawful to tow any vehicle, except as otherwise
provided in subsection (d) of this section, over the highways of
the city when such vehicle is designed for and capable of self-propulsion,
except in cases of bona fide emergency resulting from mechanical
breakdown or accident. Whenever a vehicle is being towed
in such an emergency by a bar, chain, rope or cable, a licensed
