for a while the mules were able to get a plate and be on street.... it was due that they were limited on speed to 25mph and registered as a golf cart... they did away wit hthe loop hole...most were registering so they could ride on teh beaches... not sure I would want to see these on the highways..... not really built for it...

Just a note on this topic....
My parents live in a community that used to have "private" roads so there were always ATVs and UTVs roaming the neighborhood. The newest owner didn't care for them and changed (don't fault me I don't really know how street "ownership" is determined) them to public roads with County Road signs. A few people in our neighborhood were able to get their rangers and rhinos plated for a few years before the law changed. Some of them are still getting current reg and inspections. However, no one has been able to get a new one registered in a few years. Their roads are all dirt/ unimproved and the speed limit is max 25 around the place. I understand not wanting rangers on a big highway but it sucks not being able to plate them for use around country neighborhoods like theirs.

Farm Bureau got these and utvs passed for farm use about 3 yrs ago. (we have been pulled over by troopers and handed them the law we printed and put in the glove box.
No insurance or reg needed

ATV's and UTV's can be licensed up here in Wyoming as long as you have a horn and rearview mirror. I see them all the time on the streets. I just purchased a new Polaris Rzr this week and they asked me if I was going to license it.
I don't plan on it because the pavement is too hard on the tires.

Wheel chairs are bad here near town. One going down 1488 every morning on the line ....
One of my clients lost his father driving a 4 wheeler across to store every day. Did it for years but got hit crossing rd on his beverage run. Tried to pull the farm use checking other pastures card but lost out. Tried to sue lady that hit him cause she was speeding and never saw him but didn't matter since fm359 in a curve.
