They ticket you for riding in a ditch and then keep your license if you don’t have cash in the spot to pay it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ride snowmobiles to escape all the bullshit, not to get pulled over daily because I'm 8 mph over the speed limit on a fast straight trail out in the middle of nowhere...

Vocal is ok but it won't change the Laws or cause less Cops, remember when that was recently tried in some Cities, defund the Police, they quickly went back to the Cops.

Rod Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Sledding is still the Wild West here and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Sledding is about freedom. Once there’s a heavy police presence I’m out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never had any issues with Cops, never had any tickets except back in 1969 for burning rubber, $23 fine, got stopped once for 12 over but was let go with a warning, that was in 1966. Many of my friends were/are cops including 1 Granddaughter. My oldest daughter Theresa (deceased now) dated a Cops son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
