I dont know,but what i do know is that they are driven on the f.r. way too fast! my 5 yr. old grandson, who was 3, at the time,was almost ran over by 1,just checking the mail w/me 1 afternoon! yes, i was furious and upset enough to call the sheriffs dept. out, they made the guy get off of it, till the next time! I will pray for a speedy recovery for the young mr.Glinsmann, I also will pray he has learned a lesson on why they are called atv"s,and nobody else will get hurt!

Why would the driver receive a citation?

Are Atv's street legal?
