Pros And Cons Of ORV

Do you own an ORV? If so, did you know that the government along with all the states are cutting down on the amount of trails that riders can legally ride on without being yelled at by landowners or put in jail by the cops. Also too many riders - of both age groups from children to adult - are getting injured and/or killed because of cops chasing them or even just the riders not being safe enough and making intelligent decisions because they didn’t need to take a safety class. Basically, ORVs do not have a set of operation standards based upon injuries, safety, and federal laws. First of all, to rider’s, cops are the Joker to Batman. Cops make riders’ lives miserable and just always annoying. They wouldn’t have to do this if ORV’s were street legal. Furthermore, cops basically waste their time
Also the laws restricting riders from federal, public, and private lands in certain areas need to be changed. “President Nixon in 1972 issued an executive order requiring federal land managers to minimize environmental damage and social conflict by designating trails acceptable for off-road use”(Clayton 1). Furthermore, whenever riding it should always be required to ride with an approved helmet - approved helmets are necessary because some helmets can have problems and be faulty so this way riders have a lower risk of being hurt in the head - on because there are so many injuries to the head from ORVs because a lot of riders don’t wear helmets. “A second report, by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, looked at emergency department visits at hospitals across the country. It found that one in 10 people younger than 20 hurt on ATVs who went to hospitals had traumatic brain injuries”(ATV 1) and this just shows that riders need to wear a helmet as part of the federal laws if they wanna operate these
