West Virginia bans ATVs on multi lane roads in landmark law
Governor Wise heralds a landmark year with an ATV regulatory law and a lowered drunken driving blood alcohol limit of .08. He pledges to work with the Department of Transportation, DMV and state troopers to help counties enforce ordinances. Ashley Young, a 17 year old student, supports the measure citing safety. Senate Transportation Chair Mike Ross says the rule will curb dangerous riding and protect citizens. The law bans ATVs on roads with centerline stripes of more than two lanes while allowing many paved unlined roads.
