Re: Towing two trailers behind a pickup in Ontario. Is it legal?
Short answer, yes. There are weight and length limits. I believe they're 23 metres and 4,600 kg. Here's the part most people get confused on... You cannot tow more than one trailer behind non-commercial vehicles. Pickup trucks, regardless if they're for personal use, are considered "commercial vehicles" for highway traffic purposes. An easy way to confirm whether or not your vehicle is considered a commercial vehicle are through your plates. You'll likely have a set of black lettered plates instead of the blue. If so, you have a "commercial" vehicle.

Was this ticket improperly written?
On the lower part of the ticket I got, there is a space where the officer had to fill in my vehicle identification. Next to the plate number, he entered 09 as the year, and then the make of the car. My car is no where close to an '09. Is this enough to get me off the hook?
