We all know that florida has passed a law some time ago that allows atvs to be operated on public roads, unpaved, under 35mph...etc.

This is a state law but a county has the option of denying this law.

SO! they outlawed it in my county after only 4 months....if its a state law?...what countys still allow this???

If there is no county in florida allowing this law....WTF!!!

Ive asked and called around and it seems as if they all, made it illegal?

Do any of you live in a county that still allows atvs on public road ways?

next to the bird rd and sw157ave area I ask a FWC officer that was patrolling the water mgmt. area and sure enough you can ride on an unpaved road under 35 mph only in the daytime. This does not include private drives on private property,unpaved access roads for the farmers in the farm fields,rock quarry property unpaved roads.
