If you are operating a motorized conveyance of any description on a county, state, or federal roadway, it should meet all requirements for such operation, including basic safety features and personal protection. Insurance to cover accidental loss should be required, as well as appropriate licensing.
Turning golf carts, scooters, and ATVs loose on the roads is unsafe, unwise, and shifts liability insurance costs to motor vehicle operators.
License and insure, or ban them from roadway operation.
Those look like fun to use.
Sorry she was hurt.
I hope and pray this female is alright, I saw her riding down my road this morning when I was coming home. Never thought I’d be seeing this tragic story. Prayers for her!
JJ, who are you to dictate who can use any asset paid for with taxes? Seriously, anyone who spells as poorly as you should focus on themselves rather than pushing such obviously undereducated opinions. Let’s focus on safety. Also, let’s wait to find out what happened before we rush to judgement.
Hiways should be limited to motorized vehicles with license tags only. This should include county roads to!.you cant ride or walk on interstate hiways
Pray she recovers
