Incorrect. Connecticut has owner liability laws which apply to certain offenses such as evading responsibility, reckless driving, engaging in pursuit, speeding, etc. The registration number is prima facie evidence that the owner was the operator at the time of the offense. Ideally, if the owner was not operating their vehicle, they would tell law enforcement when questioned, but if they refuse to, they can be held criminally liable under CT law (C.G.S. 14-107).

Why is this happening?

  • Because CT is boring. It’s doesn’t want to enhance itself and change to attract youth, brains, and wealth.

Will it keep going?

  • Yes. Dirt bikes and ATV groups will continue. Racing will continue. I plan on getting an ATV myself. The annoyance will continue until CT decides to make tracks for ATV, Dirtbikes, and Cars. They can fit dozens across the state, but refuse. Technically they could section of a portion of a city or town each night and have a regulated racing event. They refuse. Taxpayers are telling you they want a place to express themselves and their vehicles because they pay taxes. This problem could be solved in 6 months, yet the Boomer Brigade refuses.

Why hasn’t this problem been solved?

  • The same reasons grid lock on i95/Merritt has not been solved. The same reason Trucks still find their way on the Merritt - Laziness. This is why I hop Work From Home dismantles this ridiculous tax and spend infrastructure. A death spiral is needed to force Government to be efficient. CT taxes the hell out of everyone and gives it all to pensioners, police, welfare, government programs, and government schmucks that should be replaced by a computer algorithm. The roads are horrible. Use the tax money to make tax payers happy!

Dollars to donuts the individuals wanting to “express” themselves are vastly fewer than the participation required to justify the costs of making ATV parks or whatever it is you are suggesting.

There’s already an insane number of dirtbikes / quads ripping by the hospitals in new haven. Even if you added areas for taxpayers to “express themselves”, how would they get there? Would they again use the same roads as cars, minus insurance and vehicle registration, while popping wheelies?
