Dauin accident

Here are a bunch of rednecks in Texas who have found a way to get ahold of them....and modify them for redneck activities.

Perhaps. Might depend what state you are in. The federal government does not give much of a definition of what is road worthy.

All they say is 1. It must go faster than 25mph. 2. It must have a reverse gear (excluding motorcycles). 3. It must meet state and/or federal safety guidlines. 4. It can't have armor or weapons.

Here is the text in the law that you posted.

"a)*For the purpose of determining the applicability of section 216(2 ), a vehicle which is self-propelled and capable of transporting a person or persons or any material or any permanently or temporarily affixed apparatus shall be deemed a motor vehicle, unless any one or more of the criteria set forth below are met, in which case the vehicle shall be deemed not a motor vehicle:
(1)*The vehicle cannot exceed a maximum speed of 25 miles per hour over level, paved surfaces; or
(2)*The vehicle lacks features customarily associated with safe and practical street or highway use, such features including, but not being limited to, a reverse gear (except in the case of motorcycles), a differential, or safety features required by state and/or federal law; or
(3)*The vehicle exhibits features which render its use on a street or highway unsafe, impractical, or highly unlikely, such features including, but not being limited to, tracked road contact means, an inordinate size, or features ordinarily associated with military combat or tactical vehicles such as armor and/or weaponry."

 

Here is a list of what states allow and what restrictions they put on them.

Probably more street legal then most here! :p
