Motor vehicles have to have a licensed driver and a vehicle registration by law. Vehicles have to pass safety inspections, and have fully functioning set of safety equipment. Dirt bikes have literally none of this, and are not permitted in the public domain.

Why couldn't you inform yourself? They are not legal bc they do not conform to the safety requirements for vehicles on a public street. Period.

From a NYT article: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2018/07/25/nyregion/dirt-bikes-bike-life-ride.amp.html

Riding a dirt bike is illegal in most cities, and on most public roads, because the bikes don’t have standard safety equipment like headlights and turn signals. On top of that, neighbors complain that the noisy bikes are a dangerous nuisance[/quote]

Require dirt bikes to have a licensed driver, vehicle registration, turn signals, and headlights.

Incidentally, DC does not require safety inspections for motorcycles or mopeds. Maryland does not require safety inspections for mopeds.[/quote]
