OHV Rules

We are seeing more and more Off Highway Vehicles on our roads. Did you know that even though they can be plated, it doesn’t mean they can travel on all New Mexico roadways. Officer Desi Ortiz from the Department of Game and Fish helps us understand the rules for OHV’s with regard to travelling on roads and if you have questions, where you can find answers.

How is it that Arizona manages to allow this with their vastly bigger road system? And if tires truly are an issue how is it that big lifted trucks can get very aggressive tread tires? Or drag slicks are allowed that literally rip pavement out of the ground? This is such a backwards way of looking at this and unfortunately is just making it to where people are riding these vehicles on streets without proper safety trainer or inspections. Be smart about it. Require vehicles be road legal and potentially have a safety course, then allow them to be driven on public roads

Excuses. Real reason is cops can't keep up with OHVs on their 5500lbs Tahoes.
