If so, he should be locked up. You boys need to do some research. You can't just go locking someone up unless they're a current danger to themselves or others. |

Again nobody has answered my question.
How is it that regulating mopeds or scooters is an undue burden. .
Every other motor vehicle on the road needs a licensed driver and registration.
I'm always baffled at how some think a scooter or moped should be immune to proper regulation for on-road use.

Ohhh I have no problem with it except, I think the laws should be uniform accost the State. not one rule in one county and a different rule in the next.. Just as our Drivers License's are. |

Thank you sir for the clarification. Yeah that's screwed up I had no idea each county had its own laws. |

Thank you sir for the clarification. Yeah that's screwed up I had no idea each county had its own laws. Well yea many counties do, In Indiana the top speed for an unlicensed vehicle is 29 MPH, although i had an officer tell me it was 25 MPH, I looked it up and it's 29MPH, that's state law. So anywhere in the state of Indiana above 29 MPH it's considered a motorcycle... That's pretty much where the uniformity ends. Because these vehicles have no plate on the back, many counties make you register them, and the owner is given a sticker with a number on it. Sort of like what they used to do to bicycles a long time ago. This tag is good only within the county that issued it, along with that tag comes that counties own rules about operation. And it's those rules that vary so drastically from one counties to the next..... I was told a long time ago, that the rules from the county your State ID or License is issued is the set of rules you are subject to regardless of what counties your driving thru.. Not sure if this is true or not, and thankfully I have never tested it.. |

Every state is different. Here in CO it's called the low power scooter law. 49cc and under you need a Valid DL and carry liability ins. 51cc and up you need a m/c endorsement.

Current moped/scooter laws in Indiana.
Under 18, valid State ID, and loads of safety gear.
Over 18, just a valid State ID.

So if I can break 29 on my bicycle it has to be registered? Or is it only motor vehicles. Here in NM we often hit speeds around 45 on descents with our bicycles... Are there big enough hills in IN to do it?

Legal speed limits are exactly what they say, limits. Go faster your guilty of speeding, Even to pass your not allowed to exceed the speed limit.

I asked if I needed to register it. I assume there are roads in IN that you can legally exceed 29 mph on, though I have never been there. The question is whether bicyclists capable of breaking 29 mph need to register or if it only applies to motor driven cycles... |

Bicycles have to obey the speed limits too, legally.
