Explanation
In Virginia, it is illegal to transport children under the age of 16 in the bed of a pickup truck, regardless of whether the truck is equipped with a camper shell. The bed of a pickup truck does not provide the same level of protection as the interior of a vehicle, and children are more vulnerable to injuries or accidents when riding in this area.
