for the VEGA Quaders and Bikers

[-LadyDirt-]

I've only ever heard of big numbers like 2500 with cars and stuff.

Yeah same here, i've heard of people getting $2500 fines for no vehicle insurance, but not on ATV's. But people are saying thats what it could be but yeah, unheard of to me..experience from myself and plenty of friends, etc the no insurance fine on a dirt bike has been $230.

I don't understand the insurance thing $230 ticket would probably cover you on insurance for the year......I wouldn't want to even think if you hit someone or even injure yourself you could personally be sued for hundreds of thousands if not millions.....pretty cheap insurance

Yeah exactly, I got basic insurance this year on both of our bikes, and it was like $230 for both bikes for the year. It's just not worth it these days to run without it, cops are crackin down big time. Even though we were fully plated up, had all our doucments with us, they still fined us for riding on the shoulder of the road instead of the ditch, becuse the ditch was too soggy to ride in but ohwell.. it was the long weekend and i'm sure they were crackin down big time everywhere, the forestry cops probably had a lot of pressure on them

And Murm is all about the CHEAP.......

Just sayin....:d

The $2500 is a legal possibility but RARE... standard fines are $230 & $115.

If you are a douche they can but not sure what it would take... kinda like an impaired on an ATV.... possible YES.... Anyone know anyone first hand????

Hell my buddy fell over in a store took out a candybar rack, forgot to pay for his smokes, was sitting on his quad trying to figure out why it wouldn't start when the cops showed up..... he told them to fugg-off and let him get the quad running so he at least had a chance to try and get away.... off to the tank.... few weeks later catwalking down main street Lamont @ 2:30 am busted off to the tank..... another time cops had to tag the back wheel of his quad & roll him to get him to stop...... NEVER was he charged with impaired... resisting arrest, attempt to flee, assulting a peace officer, no insurance, no registration, indecent exposure..ect..ect..ect... but never impaired.

I bet they wouldn't hesitate to give you a $2500 fine for no insurance if you ran from them and they caught you..

$230 noi insurance on OHV, $2875 for motor vehicle on hwy. Not sure if you get the 2875 if your OHV is on a hwy??

 

[Kiwionsnow]

the difference is the on hiway act and the off hiway act. the cop can charge you 25 hunddy if you are on a primary or secondary Hwy period, Most don't which is giving you an education and a (break) The Off hwy act is $230 if caught out in the bush..(crown land).. if you are doing a wheelie through down town you can sport a 2500.. and a tow and a storage. I didn't stop for that one.... many years ago.

 

[note]

if you have a ktm you will NEVER get a fine becuase ktm's are just so fast that no cop eatin donuts will be able to get you :d I rode with this guy named steve (x racer that dosent have insurance or registration) one time at bruderhiem and he was roostin the fish cops.

Guess we can add him to the list of people to thank for all the bad publicity OHV's have been getting. How do you think the next guy stopped by that fish cop was treated? I've been riding this area since i was 10 years old and over the past 30 years its gone from having the "fish cops" directing me to the best trails and helping me out of the mud to now being treating like a criminal for the same activity. Maybe if you'd show them a little respect and co-operation their attitude would be a lot different. it's something to think about next time you get get checked. If the seem a little snappy with you it's probably from dealing with idiots like this all day.
