Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin signed Senate Bill 777 on Monday, banning squatted trucks from state highways. The ban applies to modified vehicles whose front bumpers sit four inches or higher than the rear.

Chesterfield promptly announced that the County would remain a safe haven for squatted truck enthusiasts.

“Fear not,” a spokesperson for the County Administrator’s office stated at a press conference on Monday. “Our sheriff’s office has been given strict orders to stand down on any squatted truck violation.”

Chesterfield went a step further by stating that squatted trucks would be safely escorted to and from destinations such as Great American Ranch and “any and every vape shop” by county deputies.

Political action committees such as Hands Off Our Trucks (HOOT for short) have taken issue with the new law. “The Founding Fathers would have roundly rejected any legislation that limits our rights,” a member of the committee stated on Monday, “including the right to install a lift kit on the front of a truck but not the rear.”
