There’s a new push to get illegal ATV’s off the road, after a woman dies in an ATV crash in Holmesburg, the second deadly crash with an ATV this week.
"I don’t appreciate the fact that people just do whatever they want. And, it happens all the time. You see it every day. They do it in North Philly, they do it around here, especially on weekends. It’s a group thing. It’s really a group thing," Angel added.
It is a group thing, often at an Amera station on Aramingo where dozens of riders often gather to ride unregistered, uninsured off-road vehicles in packs, with apparent little regard for others. It was a single high-speed biker riding a wheelie who reportedly"I don’t know.
"One thing I know for sure is that it has to be a priority move forward. It doesn’t seem like it has been. It’s been a priority for a couple of council members, but I think it needs to be a priority for everyone," Councilmember Mark Squilla lamented. Squilla, along with Councilmembers Alan Domb and Derek Green got a bill passed last year that finally enabled confiscation of the vehicles. The three are pushing other new bills regarding cameras and new tactics."The best place is when they’re stopped, obviously. If we see them parked, an ATV parked on our streets, we should be able to approach them, engage them and confiscate those vehicles when they’re parked," Squilla added.
