Letter to the Editor: Can I drive my off-road vehicle on Summit County pothole-ridden roads?
Dillon
Can I ride my off-road vehicle on Summit County roads?
With the roads here in Summit County in the most terrible condition and potholes easily able to swallow up most compact vehicles, I would like to know if it’s alright for me to ride a non-licensed side-by-side, ATV — or unlicensed dirt bike — on our county roads.
These vehicles are far more capable of handling the roads that we have to navigate daily throughout the county, which resemble many of our 4×4 mining trails that we love so much on our off-road toys during the summer months.
Can our roads departments find any funds from our tax dollars to fill in some potholes? Please?
