New California Law

[ricksrb]

I quess California has a new law that takes effect in January prohibiting the additional rear seat on any utv of 1000cc or less. They figure there were too many injuries involving these utv's where people added the rear seat in the back to make them four seaters. Originally they also had included that all passengers in utv's must be able to touch the floor board with their feet while seated with back against rear of seat but they took that part out.That is going to effect many owners from what i have seen.

One other item is that you have to wear helmets if it is under 1000CC. All occupants of vehicle. I am going to wear them even though we are at 1100CC just so I don't get pulled over. I am sure they will be enforcing it. Why give any ranger or sheriff a reason to stop you. They don't know we are above 1000CC.

Somthing else we got cited for is not having a copy of the off road registration in the vehicle. Stupid California Law. Make sure you have a copy of the registration in any vehicle. Even ATVs.
