« on: April 11, 2008, 07:39:21 AM »
can you ride a atv that is not licensee in the ditch. i remember many many years ago being stopped by a cop when we were messing around in the ditch with a 3 wheeler i always thought that was cause they were unsafe and not allowed. any one know for sure.

Something to do with tearing them up and If an ATV gets stuck there will be a nasty hole to fix afterwards.

around SF you can if you don't get caught. If you are in the country no one cares.  But if you are riding next to a main road then they will bother you.
