To the Editor: This year, Labor Day arrives in an era of added appreciation for America’s essential workers. Thank you Democrat Evers for taking my recreation away. I had to sell my four-wheeler as I am not buying a second one and a trailer to haul two and I am not spending $14,000 to $20,000 on a UTV or $12,000 to $15,000 for a 2-up ATV. He said it was a good suggestion and would pass it on. I suggested to the person at the DNR to get the aftermarket seats DOT certifi ed so they could become legal. That’s because there aren’t any statistics for the state of Wisconsin. One person changed the law, but in the letter nowhere does Evers state any facts or statistics to back his veto up. Quote: “The safe transportation of passengers, regardless of location, is essential to the prevention of injuries and fatalities associated with all-terrain and utility terrain vehicle use.” I have a copy of the letter Evers sent to the Senate explaining his changes dated March 3, 2020. Now, you naysayers are going to ask how do you know that to be true. Evers used his partial veto to change the law. Tony Evers’ partial veto! Yes, you read that correct. So why did the law change to specifically restrict two people riding on an ATV?ĭemocratic Gov. So there is no data in Wisconsin to support that riding double on an ATV causes accidents. I contacted the same person and he said they do not record that data. However, there were no statistics that showed if the accidents involved one or two people on an ATV. They gave me a person in the DNR to contact. I asked for the data for accidents for ATVs that had two riders on them. I contacted the Wisconsin ATV Association as I heard they were pushing the bill. I dug into this and found some very interesting facts.
that need to use an ATV/UTV to help someone in an emergency. This also does not apply to any first responders, etc. This does not apply if you are on your own private property. All ATVs that have a bolted-on seat for the second passenger are now illegal. It is now unlawful for passengers to ride on an ATV/UTV unless it was designed and manufactured for a passenger. To the Editor: Most people are not aware of recent changes in the laws regarding ATV/ UTVs.
