Drivers of ATVâs can now ride on the streets without the fear of getting a ticket, and are street legal in certain scenarios.
The road rules can be difficult to understand in WV.
A new West Virginia law, Senate Bill 690, states you have to outfit your ATV or side-by-side to make it street legal, so it can pass inspection. In order to pass inspection, ATVâs need to have headlights, turn signals and even a windshield, or a pair of protective lenses, along with other specifications.
Here are things you also need to know in order to drive smart and safe:
Any place that sells ATVs can issue a license for their vehicles.
ATVâs must be inspected
ATV inspections can only be done at a vehicle inspection station.
ATVâs are only legal on roads without a yellow line, and in certain areas you can travel up to ten miles away from the trail head on any road. |
