Banning of ATVs will never happen. It generates too much of the economy. I did hear something the other day about a law being passed that made it illeagal for someone under the age of 16 to operate an ATV. If caught, then the parent(s) would be in trouble.

I work as an ATV salesman, and if anyone comes in and tells me they are buying one for someone under the ATV age limit, I can't sell to them. We lose a lot of sells from this. People get mad, I'll say this 90cc ATV is for riders 12 and over, the response I get is well my son in 8. Then I'm sorry well I've got some dirtbikes for him, but now I can't sell you this. Honda sends in mystery shoppers to help, if we sell to them, its a huge fine.

Another reason I don't think it should be banned: I started on my first dirtbike when I was 5, then as I got older, I started riding dads ATVs more. When I got my license, I felt like I could control my vehicle better, I already had driving expierience. I really think it better prepared me for when I got behind the wheel.

So overall I think maybe they should tighten up the laws, but as far as an ATV ban goes, no way, nor do I think it will ever happen. They are used for too much work and hunting besides lesure activities.
