Thus far there are no license plates for quads. And not required.

I think with that rationale we may as well ban all forms of dangerous transportation. Safer if everyone rode the bus. Then we wouldn't have to worry
if someone was irresponsible enough to eat while driving or using phone while driving or....... Being distracted by talking to their passengers
or.....
Remember, this is a forum about Mexico. Many of us are enamored with the freedom associated with her lack of regulation. Hope not too many of the
American ideas are implemented down here. |
I'm with this guy - pro choice on helmets. Safety is relative and a judgement call.
Anyway, good luck enforcing helmet laws in Gringo enclaves with most of the population buzzing around town in shorts and flip flops..

Let stupid people be stupid. And let's all hope the stupid people are killed by their stupid mistakes before they reproduce and spread their stupid
genes in the pool. Can we ban stupid people from using the roads used by smart people?

Probably the same thing that would happen if he were walking. Should he wear a helmet while walking, too? I'm not against helmets, BTW. But there
should be some room for leeway when it makes sense. You cannot eliminate all risk from life and still live.

It sounds like the law is you need a helmet. Are gringos exempt? I do not wear a helmet all the time, but you will not hear me crying if I get a
ticket for something I knew was an infraction. What makes sense? If you go slow you can break other laws?

Helmets in Mulege
@ MulegeMichael et al : Word among the locals is that Transito is confiscating quads and motorcycles that are being ridden without helmets in Mulege.
When the owner goes to the local station with helmet in hand and ready to pay a fine (unknown amount, probably negotiable) he/she can have their cycle
back.
Life in Mulege is much different from summer to winter. I've no idea how that practice will be enforced in the future (notice I didn't say "law"), but
that's my understanding of things now, today, and this weekend.

To answer some u2us and emails....A Onappafa,, is good in all of baja, it is not good on the mainland or the usa. Cost is 1750 for first year, 400 for
second year and free after that, but you must register each year. New pics basicaly. You will need proof of residency such as a utility bill, car
title and the vehicle for a photo and they also take your photo. However, they are very lenient at this time, any evidence of ownership will work if
you lost your title, ie registration, insurance papers etc. If you have lost everything, take a person to vouch for you. If you do not need to take
this car out of baja, it is a good solution to the importation problem for PR visas. The process takes 5 minutes. The office is by the arch, however
the personnel stay on the porch of the restaurant under the arch. Hint, take her a cold coka cola, nothing else needed.
