[quote=Anonymous]Of course not, but surely there are solutions. Other cities are taking steps. Acoustic cameras? Immediate enforcement at a stop? No refueling? Essentially if you drive into DC you know you could and most likely will lose the vehicle, and you won’t have fuel to get back home or race away from the police. At the same time, you know you will have a safe place to ride somewhere within the Beltway, even in DC, but not where people live.

Also. Licensing? Registration? Progressive fines? Trackers on vehicle in agreement with manufacturers? Can only purchase if signs that vehicle will be used where legal? Registration to purchase? Vehicle recognition cameras (not face, so if you are the owner, you get fines sent home)? Vehicle must stop if stopped by the police (I do, and I have been stopped many times for no reason)? Speed bumps, pedestrianized zones? 
No reviving? Mufflers?

I just know they have ATVs in other cities and yet very few have this much of a problem. The extent of it is recent even though ATVs have been around. So something changed. What was that something? Does that something help?

These are unscientific ideas but there are sophisticated solutions if we really want to stop something. There are new legislations and policies in several cities so maybe there’s something good there. I know London had a problem with muscle cars and loudspeaker people transporters — maybe they found a solution?

I must ask though how many DC residents directly benefit from this activity vs. how many are directly adversely affected? How many of each are girls? What’s the delta? So, I’m convinced that the status quo is unfair and that action needs to be taken and swiftly.[/quote]
