Can anyone explain the WV laws about riding on the painted and unpainted lined roads????not stupid just confused thanks

 

As it is now there aren't any laws on the books concerning riding on lined roads, the violations come from an ATV not being approved for highway use---no blinkers, license, etc...

After they get the proposed law hammered out it's probably going to be no riding on roads with a center line....

Hope that helps.

 

ride where you want,painted or not.there are no restrictions on the books YET.i think the helmet law still applies.

 

There aren't any helmet laws yet....but it's coming....to private land even, if the Senate has their way.

 

i was told that the atv had to be registered and the rider had to have drivers liscense and be over 16. but that is just heresay.

 

I ride Mercer Wyomimg & Mcdowell Counties regularly. We ride Rt.52 (yellow line 2 lane) between trails to get gas or food. The local police have never bothered us, they give us a friendly wave!
The way the latest law changes read we wil still be able to ride on most roads. Just keep as far to the right as possible. On the sholder if their is one. Under 25 mph. That's the hard part!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

i went riding over the christmas holiday near Weston. we rode for over 2 hours, on paved, paved lined, dirt, and "other" (which consisted of an official main road under water in a creek. Not kidding!) and no one seemed to care.

 

I dont know about the riding laws, but you make the helmet law comment like its a bad thing. Maybe i misunderstoop it though.

 

u dont need turn signals at least not in illinois, i just took my permit test and asked the teacher he said that u just need tires, lights, license plate, and to use hand signals

 

Yup you've misunderstood me....I'm all for mandatory helmets, even for adults but the lawmakers won't go that far in fear of making voters mad....in an election year.
