My understanding of Indiana Code is that ATVs and UTVs (and golf carts too, I suppose) are not permitted to be operated on public roads.
That being said.......
What has been the experience of this group when operating your vehicle on a public road? Let's for this conversation assume you were operating in a safe manner and not impaired or distracted and following all rules like you were driving a car. Were you stopped and issued a citation when discovered by an Officer?
This question came to mind yesterday while tooling around my neighborhood in Marion county in my Gator. We live out in the fringe where there are still cornfields just outside one entrance and so even though it is geographically Indianapolis, it's practically rural. Now, out in my woods driving your atv/utv around is very common and I would guess the Deputys don't bother unless someone complains.
I was wondering if I ventured outside of edition would an IMPD Officer take the time to stop me.
