    Awesome! I can't wait for more rules to follow. I hate taking responsibility for myself and others on my own, or having to make choices and pesky decision. More rules please!

    Dear State, may I use the state approved washroom now please?

    As long as wearing a helmet in the Jeep is strictly optional...

    This is great news. Now there will be a way to identify and report the idiots out there.

    don't really care about the helmet part either way...personally...
    But I like the fact that there will be plates on the quads / bikes etc....and with fines hopefully if not on these rigs.
    Atleast now it will be easier to report those guys when in road closures, or at least inform CO's that there are atv's running around with out plates.
    Obviously, I don't own a quad....so no skin off my a**, long overdue...IMO

    The problem with requiring registration and plates on an ATV is that if someone is truly intent on being an idiot in the alpine, they will either take the plates off or put on fake plates. Law-abiding people will use the plates properly but it is usually not the law-abiding ATV-ers that are causing the problems. This sort of reminds me of gun registration but I hope it works better.

    Hopefully some of these new fees go towards COs to give them some time to target problem areas.

    I don't think calling in a guys quad plate is enough info to charge him in court.
    I think some video footage would be required, without that it could just be hearsay.

    Regarding the helmet. I wear a full face when out recreational riding, but don't wear one while hunting.

    Ill probably pick up a cheap beenie lid for hunting if required.

    All money will end up in general revenue.
    A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life wrote a blank check
    Made payable for an amount of 'up to
    and including my life'. That is Honor, and there are way too many people
    in This country who no longer understand it.'

    This is old news, put into place last year, but like everything else, no budget to enforce. Although people with a licence plate hanging in plain site will probably act a little more responsible
