Changes to Utah OHV law

[RedMan]

Utahs Governor signed SB0022 yesterday.
This is an amendment to the existing Utah OHV law passed last year.

You can read it here: http://le.utah.gov/~2009/htmdoc/sbillhtm/SB0022S02.htm

It takes effect July 1.

highlights are:

Amber or Red turn signals.
Specific designation of utility vehicles (aka SxS)
Seat Height correction (RZR now ok)
Tires MUST not exceed 26 inches diameter
Requirement for MC license was removed BUT normal license is required.

I take this is the street legal law?

Interesting that 26" tires are max. I don't get it.

Yeah it is. The 26" tire thing is specifically to keep the rock crawlers from being legal, same with seat height.

The rock crawlers really wanted in on this and it almost killed the whole deal so they ended up being excluded through these types of specifications.

"Well of course those are the tires that came from the factory officer!"
