In all honesty it depends on how the ordinances are written. Like for instance the town I live in a motorized vehicle is defined as any motorized vehicle that can carry 1 or more persons. Now the Forest Service on the other hand defines a motorized vehicle as any vehicle that can propel itself. One of the local crawler guys found this out the hard way and got hit with a $550 fine.
) I just keep playing with my toys 
Hey, that dude is at my park, too!
Legend has it that he travels to all the parks in the world and does that same thing everywhere
. Write them a ticket $31. Then boot the car. When dude is on a first date. Lmao
There is a dude here that walks around town rapping, a guy who stands on the corner playing hacky sack, a dude that looks like Abe Lincoln that rides his bike up and down the street and a guy that everyone refers to as "crazy wheelchair guy" because he will just roll on across the street no matter if there are cars coming or not, I have personally seen him get hit twice, he even has a yield sign on the back of his wheelchair
U must live where I work. Today was a black drunk guy "singng" a Capella top of his lugs 80s rock love ballads off of the walking bridge. The harmonica guy is actually pretty good. And the no legged guitar vet really kicks @$$!There is a dude here that walks around town rapping, a guy who stands on the corner playing hacky sack, a dude that looks like Abe Lincoln that rides his bike up and down the street and a guy that everyone refers to as "crazy wheelchair guy" because he will just roll on across the street no matter if there are cars coming or not, I have personally seen him get hit twice, he even has a yield sign on the back of his wheelchair
$550 for playing with a freaking toy? OMG, that is so over the top. And the forest service cop gave this person that ticket with a straight face? Really?
I have a generally good experience at my regular spot. The kids definitely get a kick out of it. You do have to be careful around dogs. Some are fine, but others will have an irresistible urge to chase your RC. It just looks too much like prey to them. I always assess a dog and their owner's reaction before continuing to drive. Some owners are fine with their dog getting all excited, others are clearly annoyed if they have to prevent their dog from chasing.
Bwhahahaaa. F'n KarensI had a lady who literally put her child into harms way by continuously pushing her 2-3 year old child into the dirt track I was running on.. I finally said ... soooo you’d like a turn on the track then? She even had the nerve to say “well I’m just not sure if this track is for kids or rcs” ... It’s a bmx dirt track with jumps.. pretty sure it’s not for your 3 year old to play on ... lol
I could tell she just wanted to push me out, for no other reason than being a Karen. He played on it for a few minutes then got bored... as I think a 3 year old would on a bmx track with his bike with training wheels
With a little karen in training.
I have a motorbike, and since I do not have a garage, I put it in front of the house, with a cover. There is one guy with a dog that walks his dog early in the morning, and let his dog piss on my motorbike cover. I've had to tell the guy multiple times to keep his dog away from my motorbike. The last time I told hiim, he replied he found it funny that when you are preparing in the morning, you get your hands covered in dog piss. When he said that, I took out my phone, took a picture of him and his dog and went to the police to put down a complaint. Turns out letting your dog piss on someone else's property can be considered voluntary property damage. Judge told him to pay me 4 motorbike covers, 59 euro each, plus trial costs etc, and his lawyer. I just went to court by myself with purchase proofs. Best part is, only 1 cover actually got ruined by his dog pissing on it, the other 3 either broke or were stolen

Since then, there's a big paper on the window stating "This motorbike is not a pisspole! It's disgusting and disrespectful". Didn't get pissed on since. Never saw the guy walking his dog in front of my house again, he crosses the street now. Other dog owners started crossing the street also for some reason... Never had any piss on my hands either. Anyways, that was a little side story.
The big park in the city I live in has signs pointing out that RC cars above 10km/h are not allowed. I've been kicked out of the park twice for driving my Kraton full speed on the soccer field when it was snowing. The park guards were nice about it, they asked me nicely, and even though they also found it really cool, they had to enforce the rules. I can understand, it is a very big family park with lots of small children running around, so yeah, didn't go there again.
I've not had any other bad encounters (yet). Most people stop on the side, watching a little bit. Once there was this little child that also wanted to try, but I had to tell him no. His father stayed on the side, he was on the phone, and his kid stayed next to me. I just kept the car away from us as to not have any accidents. The thing is, as mentioned before by others, be respectful and nice, and people tend to leave you alone. I sometimes even ask nearby people if it's ok if I drive around a little bit, still have to get the first 'no'.
The messed up part is they didn't give it to him personally, they gave it to him like a month after they did an investigation.........
Investigation? They actually wasted all that time and money on something so stupid? Wow.
Someone reported him to the Forest Service.....
