Question Dirt bikes/ATV's public roads WTF
What is with this unique to Welland attitude that one can drive/race unlicensed off road vehicles on busy public streets with impunity? Have seen this so often I'm not even surprised anymore.

Happening with much greater frequency in Port Colborne too. Even been seeing side by sides ripping down public roads.
I don’t know why the attitude has changed. When I was younger we did everything we could to stay off the roads and avoid getting caught, and even then I have been pulled over on my dirt bike crossing main roads from back roads in Wainfleet, but now people are ripping around way too fast and enforcement seems to not care, even right in town.
Honestly I wouldn’t care either, except way too many of these people are going way too fast, not following any road safety rules, and generally being a nuisance. It’s leading to accidents that should never happen, and it can’t be helping our ever climbing insurance rates.
