External Sender - Please use caution with links or attachments.
There is a proposed ATV, UTV, AND GOLF CART ORDINANCE, TITLE 7, MOTOR VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC, CHAPTER 5. I
would like to express my opposition to this ordinance. The Idaho State Code Title 49 allows the operation of ATVs and
UTVs on State, County, and City Roads. The State Legislators think that ATVs and UTVs are safe enough to drive on State,
County, and City roads. We enjoy the liberties as set forth by state legislature to take our ATV and UTV, to gas stations,
carwashes, run errands, commute to work, take the kids for a ride around town, drive them to designated Off Road
Trails, or allow us to go wherever the State Code Allows.
If this ordinance were to pass, it would strip us of the rights provided by the state of Idaho.
If safety is the issue UTVs have roll bars, seat belts, and other devices to keep passengers inside the UTV in
case of an accident, they are no less safe than a bicycle, scooter, or motorcycle if they were to get in an accident.
Last but not least, please explain to the ATV and UTV communities what we have done to bring this proposed
ordinance about when State Laws allow us to drive on the roads?
Sincerely
Paul Nesbitt
