The State decided to license these vehicles, but leave it up to municipalities to allow their operation. I agree with 'Jeez', they should be allowed statewide. Since the State does not quite have their act together on this, we need to step in a pass an ordinance. The other vehicles you mentioned are licensed and allowed to operate through the State already.<BR/><BR/>Jeez-<BR/><BR/>What I said and what you said I said are really two different things. I did not claim to be an expert. One does not have to be an expert in a field to recognize lack of expertise in someone else. Just ask anyone who has had poor work done by a contractor.Greg Heldinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06314555744499563071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-65267163766026518602008-04-29T09:20:00.000-05:002008-04-29T09:20:00.000-05:00This should be allowed Statewide.

What is your degree? You may as well have said: "I say I'm smarter than you so therefore you do not understand, you are wrong, and I am right." Keep the condescending comments to a minimum, please.

Why can't they (shouldn't they) be treated like any other vehicle? Are we going to have dozens of types of vehicles (mo-peds, scooters, cycles, NEVs, PDQs, etc.), each with special restrictions. That will make some licensing committee fully employed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-9547138276495245112008-04-29T07:52:00.000-05:002008-04-29T07:52:00.000-05:00Anon 4:00-I'm sorry, but your argument doesn't mak...Anon 4:00-<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry, but your argument doesn't make any sense. Why would someone get thrown from one of these vehicles any more readily than another vehicle? You know we are talking about actual cars, right? The vehicles are enclosed in metal, plastic, and glass. They are not golf carts. NEVs meet federal DOT safety guidelines and are licensed by the state. They are small, but they are actually larger in most cases than "Smart Cars", which are already street legal and riding around Racine's streets without incident. I have a picture of three NEVs lined up with a "Smart Car" that I will send in to the Post. Hopefully they will put it up.<BR/><BR/>Take a breath and settle down. No one is "pushing" these cars on anyone. People can drive them if they wish - the ordinance allows their use, it does not mandate it.<BR/><BR/>I've noticed lately that many people like to bring up the specter of legal liability when they oppose something. I have also noticed that most of those people really do not understand how legal liability works.<BR/><BR/>Anon 4:44 -<BR/><BR/>Alderman Wisneski and I worked on this item and requested the ordinance. These two "nuts" deliberately chose to draft an ordinance without permits or fees.Greg Heldinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06314555744499563071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-57089766471813509402008-04-28T16:44:00.000-05:002008-04-28T16:44:00.000-05:00No City )Prmits ?How did the Mayor and the other n...No City )Prmits ?<BR/><BR/>How did the Mayor and the other nuts miss that ????<BR/><BR/>The City is permit and fine's crazy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-50986862900512207182008-04-28T16:00:00.000-05:002008-04-28T16:00:00.000-05:00I can't wait until someone gets thrown from one of...I can't wait until someone gets thrown from one of these vehicles at 35 mph and dies. Then the aldermen will see how cute and cuddly this idea when family sues the crap out of them for pushing this crazy idea. The blood will be on their hands in my opinion. Very stupid idea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
