Why cant you ride four-wheelers on the road???

[Jana B]

How much trouble can you get in if you get cought ** a cop riding a four-wheeler on the road, and do you get in more trouble without a helment on?
How much trouble do you get in if your cought riding a four-wheeler on the road and do you get in more trouble if your 13 and would you get in more trouble if you werent wearing a helment?

Too small to be seen ** drivers.
Often young, unlicensed drivers with limited knowledge of traffic laws
Most do not have necessary lights
Too much chance of injury or death to unprotected riders

And yes, no helmet is another fine

My son went to jail. The helmet thing doesn't matter. Other than the obvious it is extremely STUPID to do. 4-wheelers are extremely dangerous if the proper care is not taken when riding. Tires on 4-wheelers grip really well and when ridden on asphalt can either flip you or roll over very easily especially with a inexperienced rider. I raced a 4-wheeler for a long time and you should always wear a helmet. S.L.A.P.A.H.O. Support Life And Put A Helmet On!

You will get a ticket of some sort most likely. Although you may be called "downtown" for your llegal gaurdian to come pick you up. Without a helmet you'll just get a lecture on top of this. That is of course you don't die while doing so.

If you mean the side of the road, that's fine as long as it's not a highway or super busy street. A non busy street in your neighborhood is fine.
