[quote user="bczoom"][quote user="ddttweeks"]We contacted th NY state police and because the top speed of the RTV does not exceed 25 mph it is considered a utility vehicle. All you need is a slow moving orange triangle and you are legal. We run many secondary and primary roads on our rides and have never had any problems.[/quote]
I'd still check with your local PD for their interpretation. I have never heard of a law in NY that says that a Utility Vehicle has rights on the road with the possible exception of farming activities (that have to be proved if the officer requests).

Do check with your local, at least for S&G's , that may at least start a rapport. I had checked with ours as well, we started a good rapport with our chief. He said it was okay, but had not checked with county or state yet, but did contact Ohio State BMV, they couldn't give something defined. Like some of the other suggestions, even though you are going a short distance, stay cool, treat it like a tractor, be courteous to others. Other important thing I didn't see, carry your insurance coverage for it. Even if it is questionable, and LEO might need to fill a quota, it may help to detour a slip.</P>
