Post by: Qdawg76 on February 13, 2005, 06:00:28 AM When we got a ticket the officer said it didnt count against our liscense, but we were riding next to a main road and not on it. Call the local office and ask them
Title: Re: TICKETED FOR OPERATING ATV ON ROADWAY.. Post by: d232 on February 13, 2005, 07:49:23 AM It kind of depends on what statue it is written under. I write this violation under F.S. 316.2074(5), which is a none moving violation, but there are several different statues that the officer could have written. Look at the citation, it should tell you what statue you where wrote in violation of. Let me know and I'll post the statue up here so you can read it.

§316.2074. All-terrain vehicles (1) It is the intent of the Legislature through the adoption of this section to provide safety protection for minors while operating an all-terrain vehicle in this state.

(3) No person under 16 years of age shall operate, ride, or be otherwise propelled on an all-terrain vehicle unless the person wears a safety helmet meeting United States Department of Transportation standards and eye protection. (4) If a crash results in the death of any person or in the injury of any person which results in treatment of the person by a physician, the operator of each all-terrain vehicle involved in the crash shall give notice of the crash pursuant to s. 316.066. 5) Except as provided in this section, an all-terrain vehicle may not be operated upon the public roads, streets, or highways of this state, except as otherwise permitted by the managing state or federal agency. (6) An all-terrain vehicle having four wheels may be used by police officers on public beaches designated as public roadways for the purpose of enforcing the traffic laws of the state. All-terrain vehicles may also be used by the police to travel on public roadways within 5 miles of beach access only when getting to and from the beach. (7) An all-terrain vehicle having four wheels may be used by law enforcement officers on public roads within public lands while in the course and scope of their duties.
