You are going to die on that thing

From KELOland News:
While a four-wheeled ATV gets better gas mileage than a truck, the off-road vehicles get about the same mileage as a small car. As gas prices go up, ATV's are being used as an everyday alternative to get around.

Aberdeen Police Sergeant Jay Tobin says, "The numbers have gone up some. I think as gas prices go up people are using them more year round than they used to use them for recreation. Now they are using them more for everyday."

In South Dakota, it is legal to ride ATV's on any road except for interstates. But because the vehicles are built for off-road travel, they need to be modified for the street.
Am I the only one who thinks people who drive those things around busy city streets and intra-city highways are insane?

I hate those on the road. The one's I have seen act as safe as those people who have fast cycles. On cliff, both people like to race.

I am a long time OHV (off highway vehicle) and know for a fact that riding them at high speeds with a lot of traffic is just going to get you in the emergency room.

Yes, people are crazy riding them on interstate highways.
