DN's Full Spread on Dirt Bikes and ATVs

[Highway]

Many, many ATV riders have been taken out of the game by cops doing their jobs.

Cars have bumpers for a reason.

Yes, the Daily News would love to write that story, how the innocent riders, only having fun, were assaulted by the big bad police.

And the line of lawyers signing up clients, would go around the block.

If this keeps happening, will people stop regarding these guys as neighborhood "superstars"?

And once you get on the track, if you ride like a knucklehead (wheelies, unsafe passing, etc) and put yourself or anyone else in unnecessary danger, you get booted from the track, no refund.

We were informed at our last local PSA meeting that, since the "crack down" announcement was made, which also happened to include mention of the PPD's no-pursuit policy, that these dirt bags (sorry, dirt bikers) have taken to taunting our cops by riding circles around their police cruisers when stopped at red lights. Seriously??!

Cops don't have to "pursue", just lean out the window and taser them.
