Street-legal buggys - It Passed!

[drtsqrl]

So.......are we still waiting on the final approval? When can we actually drive our tube buggies in Moab to and from the trail head?

The governor needs to sign the bill, and the Utah Highway Patrol needs to modify the safety inspection manual. I expect everything will be ready to go sometime in the next few months. This bill will allow Utah residents to register full size rigs as street legal ATV's. I am not sure how it will effect out-of-state vehicles, but I will try and find out.

Probably @ work under a truck, Tapatalk 2

This won't effect you Bart, you don't keep your buggy's long enough for you to get them licensed!

Hahaha, hey, I kept the last one 18 months. That was plenty. This is why my next one will be street legalish.

Yes, this law was amended by sb 154 to change it from 7,500 population *OR* first class county to just first class county and that legislative session was 12/16/13 so the law went into place in 2014.

This one (SB 154) was just signed by the Governor. Still waiting to see HB 148 to pop up.

I guess this sort of gives us a timeframe to expect. Around 3.5 months

So how does this apply to 191 down in moab? Don't you need to drive on it to get to some of the trails?

 

[N-Smooth]

Earlier in the thread they said it will be okay as we follow the rules of speed limits, staying in the right lane, no driving at night etc that are included in the bill

You are right, must have skipped over that post, now it's more tempting to change up my blazer a little bit

^^this is the same thing people do with "vintage-vehicle" plates. that provision is likewise not intended to be used for a daily driver. But I work with a guy, that has a clapped-out, '60s falcon that he drives daily, it literally has rope, and tape holding on panels, but that "vintage" plate keeps it on the road, despite several huge safety violations.

Hey, it's not a daily driver if I only drive it 6 days a week. At least that's what I tell myself.

I thought that they got rid of the population requirement ?

Does anyone know if 191 has a minimum speed limit like some highways are 55?

SB154 repealed the 7500 population limit. I'm assuming that will apply to full-sized also.

I don't recall ever seeing a minimum posted speed limit on 191.
