Aldermen nix riding 4-wheelers on city streets

what does it hurt unless you are like some people that do 60 in town u r worried about 4 wheelers what about all the golf carts whats the difference and the people that do 50 down side streets when my kids are trying to play why dont you worry about that stop the drugs all over arbyrd u know who it is but you dont do anything about it and you r worried about 4 wheelers come on there is more important things to be worried about

One time it's ok. The next it's not ok for kids to ride 4-wheelers Arbyrd. I just bet that who ever is making these decisions does not have any kids to worry about. Maybe that is why a city park has not been put in also. I have read the article in the paper where they talk about state laws, saying it is against the law for kids to ride 4-wheelers. Does anyone know what statue it is? And is there a city ordinace that says what kids are not suppose to do that? It seems like the city may be more worried about the kids riding 4-wheelers than someone speeding, slealing or doing drugs. Personally I had rather see a kid riding a 4-wheeler where they can be seen, than hiding and getting high.

Read the article above this post that is referring to riding 4 wheelers.It says full story-Daily Dunklin Democrat. It is against the law in Missouri.

I am still wondering what statue of the Missouri Law it is that says it's against the law. Can anyone tell me.

I agree that kids under the age of 16 should not be riding them. The ones who are riding and going 50-60 down side streets should be ticketed. As far as the 4-wheelers being registerd, insured, and flagged, I agree, BUT golf carts should have to do the same, they are no different. You can easily screw someones car up by hitting it with a golf cart. So those as well should be registed, insured and flagged.

As far as the park goes, the city is just pocketing the f*** money.. c'mon been 2-3yrs now, and I have been told personally they have the money.. but they don't want to do it.. cause they are a bunch of sorry ass ppl.
