Atlantic City is cracking down on illegal ATVs and dirt bikes that officials say endanger the public. Under a new ordinance, gas stations could be fined for workers pumping gas into the vehicles.
The ordinance is an effort to crack down on dirt bikes and all-terrain vehicles that officials say pose a danger to the public when illegally driven on city streets.
It still allows workers, however, to pump gas into the vehicles if they feel threatened, but they must alert police within one hour of the riders leaving.“The whole idea is we just don’t want these motorcycles and ATVs coming to Atlantic City. We’re trying to make it as uncomfortable as possible for them to come to Atlantic City,” Atlantic City Police Department Acting Chief James Sarkos testified before Wednesday night’s vote.
