yeah, the article even contradicts itself. i looks like it should have been a 'is not' rather than 'is'I believe the article is incorrect, liability insurance is not required for crown land., its only needed if crossing public roads at designated crossings
OK, so now you need liability insurance? Must hurt sitting on that fence.If your travelling down a FSR on crown land you need to be registered and insured just like any paved provincial road. This new ORV registration is needing the liability as it will now be legal to cross an fsr or other road at a designated spot( of witch there are none at this point) if one chooses to do so. Also recommending liability at the staging areas where you unload and load in case of accident .
As usual it's a cluster [email protected]&k at his point with insurance providers , law enforcement and the public all confused on the particulars of the new legislation . The simple fact you only need this new plate on crown or public land. When 80% of BC is probably private makes for a huge mistake in the first place , and obliterates any hope changing the huge market of stolen orv"s
True enough. There is a higher % of *******-ness north of the Fraser River though.To add to the clusterf##k that this legislation truly is, the government still hasn't addressed how these tin plates are to be mounted to bikes that were not designed for them. BCORMA is trying to negotiate to have stickers instead of plates as that is the standard in many states that require registration of off-road vehicles.
This legislation will not make one iota of difference to stop ******* hillbillys from their hillbilly-ing. Insurance and helmets have been required on FSR's for years, I have always carried insurance for my dirt bike just to cover my own ass. Look at the shit show that is Stave on any given weekend and you'll see how little that crowd cares about the laws that are already in place.
