re: #219 teleskiguy

You raise an interesting series of questions!

Beyond the social media issue, which is indeed interesting in itself, the original ‘misdeed’ also raises some other important questions.

In the DC region, there have been a number of cases where dozens to hundreds of non-street legal atv’s/motorized bikes/etc have driven as a group onto major roads, including the Washington Beltway. Where they entangled themselves with general auto and truck traffic. In general, the legal vehicles basically pulled over and waited until the goat rope moved on. As far as I know there were, fortunately, few accidents.

The only fatality that I am aware of is when a cop tried to physically halt one of the drivers. Which resulted in the death of the underage operator and the conviction of the cop for that action.

So, what can and should be done in response to incidents like these? And to incidents (unlike this) that endanger innocent passersby?
