Actually yes! Applefest weekend we were watching this guy trying to put his quad on a trailer that was not hooked up to anything. Needless to say when he put the weight of the quad on the ramps up the trailer fliped up and he almost flip the quad backwards. Heck I need a helmet just to walk across the parking lot to go to the bathroom cause of all the idiots that don't watch where they are going...LOL

4. riding with no helmet in parking lot
I recently joined, and may be out of line, but I just kinda feel like I should throw my 2 cents in. First off I am a police officer from Indiana. Secondly, if I stop a vehicle, and the driver does not have a driver's license on their person, I will cut them some slack. I either go ahead and write the ticket for no ops when required, and then give them 5 days to prove to me they have a valid license. If they do that, I destroy the ticket and thats all there is. The other thing I will do is not write the ticket right away, and give them the 5 days to prove they have a license. If they dont, then I write the ticket. I know some might say that this is totally different than the safety certificate or whatever the situation is. The point I'm attempting to make here is that tickets, at any point before adjudication, are always dismissable by the officer (at least where I am they are, I would imagine the same holds true elsewhere). If my supervisor came to me with proof that a ticket can be dismissed (showing proof of said license, etc...), I usually dismiss it. The only difference between drivers licenses and ORV safety certificates is I can run DL's on the computer and usually have a good idea whether a person has one or not.

It lets the cop be a cop and write you up but you just show up to the station with it and your off scott free!!!! win win situation!!!!
I just cry when i get pulled over. No cop wants to see a guy cry.
