I keep thinking this guy should be charged with road rage. It seems like there are a half dozen witnesses that he was losing his temper and either he's unfit to drive or he was too angry at the time to successfully complete the pass.

I think you can pull multiple trailers in Iowa. According to some RV site I found on the web they allow it if your total length is under 70' for RV's (I doubt it's different for pickups).
The info. about Lynch leaving the scene and returning later is in one of the links in the original blog post. He was not driving an RV. He was driving a pick up truck and towing 2 anhydrous ammonia tanks. These tanks are very large and have 4 wheels each. Yes in Iowa you can tow multiple things with an RV. I do not think you can do so in the application that Lynch was driving/towing. I am still trying to find out if he was in violation of towing laws. The fact that he left the scene, went home and dropped the trailers off tells me he was.
