does anybody know what happens if you get caught 4 wheeling on the road, im 16 and my dads convinced that if i get caught they will take my quad and not let me get a liscense till im 18. any feedback would be great, thanx!

 

You will have to read your state laws, but yes, here in Iowa, if you get a speeding ticket on a 4-wheeler, it's the same as getting one in a car...but they will try to slap much more on the 4-wheeler!! Basically, don't ride on the street. This also give atv's the bad rap that loses our trails...especially if you do somehting dumb in front of a car...1 can spoil the fun for all...just remember that...help keep our trails open to us!

 

IN PA THEY MIGHT JUST TAKE YOU LICENCE UNTIL YOUR 18 OR 21, THERE PRETTY STRICKED WHEN I COMES TO 4 WHEELERS

 

In conncecticut they just let you off with a warning and they give you about 20 of these before they acutally take it away

 

Brother-in-law is a PA State Trooper and I had him answer your question. Depends ultimately on the Judge, but apparently in PA you could lose your ride.....

 

yo tb 400 that didnt happen to me, i got caught 3 times, 2 of the times they came to my house n talked to my dad n my dad got relly relly mad at me n then the 3rd time they towed it n i had to go to court. My dad made me sell it and i have been tryin to find a legal ridin place here ever since, i am bout to join an atv club. so word of advice dutn ride on the rodes n if u do dont get caught ! this all happened to me in CT.

 

waznt even talking about you vin

 

dang it sucks up there. are you riding on a city street or county road or what? i know here where i live in mississippi, it all really depends on who the cop is that pulls you over. if you are just barely in the city limits at a lot of places around here, they will pull you over and i suppose you could get a ticket, but the most a city cop has ever said to me was, that i didn't pay taxes to have it on the road coz i didn't have a tag for it, therefore it wasn't supposed to be on the road, and he griped about not having a helmet on. but i have never been pulled over by a county cop, they usually never say anything, i guess you could meet an a$$hole cop and he might try to do something. i have even met a state trooper on an old 2 lane highway and he didnt even pull us over. so i guess it mainly depends on the cop. just stay off the streets in the city limits. thats all i ever learned.

 

They probably could do both but I don't think your license would be in jeopardy unless you created some sort of accident or were wreckless driving. In my little town in Ky. we don't really even get a warning unless we were just in the middle of town. It also depends on which cop, most sheriffs or county cops will kind of let it slide or not even look your way but state boys will probably bust your a@@.
