Question

Answer 1

By Law? It depends. Most states, no. But in one state near me, your allowed to go 2 miles to get to a mountain trail. But no where can you ride them very far.

Answer 2

Legally:

     No, to drive on a road you must have a licensed, titled, and insured vehicle.  Cars sold by dealers have passed inspections proving that they're road-worthy- if you build your own vehicle or if you try to pretend a 4-wheeler is a vehicle you have to go to the title office and pass the inspection. A 4-wheeler won't pass it.

Practically:

     The steering is much slower on paved surfaces.  When you have to cross a road, be careful to set yourself up to travel in a straight line because turning is difficult.

Answer 7

Sure.  Up until you get caught, if you are in one of the majority of states that doesn't allow them on public roads.

And, if you are in Mississippi:

In the state of Mississippi, you don't get tickets. You get arrested.......$250 bail, $250 fine. A misdemeanor that goes on your official Police record. Your ATV will be impounded. $100 to get it from the cops, and then another $50-$100 for the wrecker company for towing it in. If you weren't wearing a helmet when you were caught, the motorcycle helmet law is also applied, a flat rate fine of $500...AND it goes on your traffic record and not your police record.

Answer 8

Contrary to the name, an ATV is actually for use on unpaved surfaces only and is not safe on asphalt, concrete, or cement.
