Stopping quads everywhere, like off-road, or on the streets?

Why would anyone be glad to see this happening? Sounds like arbitrary enforcement. What do they care if the Americans pay registration in the USA? I
guess they have all the other crime stamped out and have some free time...

I'm glad to keep my pickup legal, no worries, but this brings up a concern shared with others. Not one to ascribe to a double-standard but I feel
concern for those who are impacted hardest by this.
The locals don't intentionally flaunt the law by and large, but it's so hard financially for so many to live up to the law's exact letter. in a
society that is already overburdened by its quest of basic needs of living, it's even more difficult when a family's transportation is taken away and
fines are levied.

Are you saying they are enforcing mexican vehicle insurance? That is not what I was getting from this thread. US registration has no bearing on
collision insurance in Mexico

Ditto on Quads - Quads are off road vehicles - can you legally drive a Quad on the streets in your town USA or Canada - no

Mojo-
You realize Mexico has a different legal system, right?
It is NOT the USA or Canada.
And that is one of her beautiful qualities!
If you want USA, stay there

Why should gringos have special status to drive their USA car to Mexico to use it forever in Mexico without maintaining registration in any
country?????

Goat-
I would understand if Mexicans required some permit in their country for long term visitors. Just don't get why they would care if it's current in
USA....

Why? Because they can. Think $$$.
It'll be fun this winter to see if they make all the quad-driving winter visitors wear helmets.

Helmets seem laughable considering all of the other "at your own risk" things in Mexico.

Many quads qualify for street legal status in the USA in many states. Here in AZ lots of quads occupy the streets in resort areas legally.

valid registration IS required for insurance. Guess you never had an unregistered car hit you (in lets say San Quintin) and have everyone poor out
and head for the hills because it is unregistered.

Or follow-up to orders to find stolen cars, stolen goods (quads). Why would an owner of a vehicle think they don't have to register it and comply
with the most basic tenets of vehicle ownership? Maybe slow down the stolen car highway into Mexico if the end result is that it will eventually be
confiscated because it can't be legally registered in Mexico. We would all win with lower insurance. Go get 'em.

A couple of times in Loreto the police set up stops at major intersections and stop every vehicle (Mexican and US) asking for registration and drivers
license. Not sure what happens if you don't have it current, but I think it's a good thing.
As for helmets on quads, I say let those idiots ride without one if that's how much they value their head. I always wear a helmet when I ride my moto
even just a short trip around town. I saw a sign in a motorcycle shop some time ago that said, "If you have a $10 head, then buy a $10 helmet".
Doesn't take much of a head hit to scramble your brain.
