The city of Wilmington, Del., is considering cracking down on dirt bikes and all-terrain vehicles that some residents and officials say are becoming a safety hazard.
The News Journal reports a city councilman proposed an ordinance this week that would allow police to confiscate parked “off-highway vehicles” if they are unregistered or if they are not securely locked up by a wheel clamp or otherwise immobilized.
Councilman Bob Williams says the point is to discourage illegal ridership. He says the vehicles are a danger and that police have a policy of not chasing illegal drivers because it’s not worth the safety risk.
City resident Mark Metzelaar says the vehicles speed loudly through the streets, “menacing the city.”
