Off-Road Vehicles Belong Off the Road!

Dirt bikes. ATVs. Golf Carts. Riding lawn mowers. These are some of many types of off-road vehicles that are not permitted to be driven on county or city roads. When they are, it is often the case that the riders are underage, unlicensed, unhelmeted, and uninsured. Please do not let your kids be part of the problem. Yes, we live in a hilly subdivision without sidewalks. But that is no excuse to take the law into your own hands.

Lieutenant Newman of the Sheriff's Department says that our neighborhood is patrolled twice per shift. If you see off-road vehicles on the roads, please call 311 if you are in the city, or 622-0022 if you live in the county. If you know where the rider lives, please give that information as well. You need not give your name.
