Default legally ride on roads?

this weekend pa got a snow storm of about 8 inches. the roads were really bad and the only things out were snowmobiles atv's and snow plows and a couple cars who werent really going anywhere. Do you think cops would bother you for being on the roads during conditions like these?

Over here in nyc you are aloud to ride after 3 inches of snow. The police really wont bother you if your in any snow tho. I rode by cops with my rubicon with a plow on it and i saw about 10 quads drive past a cop n he didint do anything.

A cop will bother you if theres no snow, but when there was a big black out in summer 03 i was tearing up my banshee. No cops said anything.

most cops don't care, but then again you get a few jerks, but that's why you don't stop for them, just go till you see the first trail and then you ain't got anything to worry about, cops got more important things to do than wait around for you to come back out, i find it fun to get chased by the cops, i've been chased by 4 different state cops and none of them could catch me lol

I suggest if your riding around the streets, dont ride on the same street more then a few times becaues most of the people will get mad and call the cops. Cops wont say anything if you riding, but if your doing donuts and wheelies. I think they would stop you.

Here in MA where I live the town has banned all public riding of ATV's & dirtbikes. When they catch you (and they always do..small town), they'll impound your rig & fine you $250..if your ATV isn't registered, the fines go up & you pay a storage fee while your ATV is impounded which you won't get back until after your court date & you prove you have registered it. And nobody rides on the road..can't even imagine what it would cost!!
