It is illegal to drive a high speed UTV on the paved roads of GA. True or false?
For the purposes of this question I’ll use the beloved Polaris Ranger for the vehicle in question, not a golf cart or straddle seat four wheeler. I’ve researched it some for myself and have come up with the following seemingly contradictory conclusions from my searching through Georgia code:
1. It is illegal for this vehicle to be on a paved road
2. It is legal if used for agricultural use with an orange triangle installed on rear
3. It is legal if allowed by local governing authority (sheriff/police chief)
4. It CAN be legal if properly insured for such travel and in an approved county or municipality
Which, if any of these statements is true? If anyone knows, and can definitively name the GA code, I’d appreciate your input. Thanks!
