So I was just thinking...if I put a "Farm Use" tag on my ATV, then would it be street legal as long as I'm within 30 miles of my house?

Sure just let the officer know where your farm is and that you were doing one of the following:

* agricultural products to market or to other points for sale or processing;
* materials, tools, equipment, or supplies that will be used or consumed on the farm;
* anything incidental to the routine operation of the farm;
* farm produce, supplies, equipment, or materials to another farm through a mutual agreement with the owner of the other farm;
* forest products to the farm including forest materials originating on a farm or related to the regular operation of the farm;
* forest products which originate on the farm.

buying any tools or office supplies really

filling up the gas tank of the ATV would be routine operations I would think.

and your farm is where?

in Franklin. Maybe you have heard of it...Franklin Farm.

Something tells me Fairfax police aren't used to seeing Farm Use vehicles on the road and would stop your ATV constantly whether or not it was completely legal.

You need quite a large chunk of land to be considered 'a farm'. Not only that but agricultural land is taxed differently. Good luck with that one.

My girlfriends parents live on a farm and they have a bunch of vehicles with farm use only tags. You have to have proof that you own a farm. In the glove box they have some paper that states the adress of the farm and proof that the vehicle is unregistered. Move to west virgina, you are allowed to drive a atv on any public road without a center line.

I would rather have a stake driven through me.

Why? To good for west virgina?

I wouldn't risk driving an ATV on the Fairfax streets. You're too likely to be run over by some shitty asian talking on their cellphone in their MB SUV, or some illegals crammed into some shitty old car with flame stickers on the side and those ailver plastic fake, stick-on vents they put on the front.

to the idiot who keeps driving his ATV up my street...do it again asshat and I'm gonna string a cable across the road to take your head off..I did it before in lorton and I'll do it again! Killed the little fucker too!

Besides being a jerkoff, you're also a liar. That would be a really smooth move. If you're really lucky you'll just end up in jail on an assault charge. If you're not so lucky, you'll be doing some hard time for attempted murder or murder. Yes by all means take the law into your own hands.

You've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya punk?

. I built a home next to a dirt road and did not take into consideration how people drive on it. For the first year i wanted to cuss everyone who did 55-60 mph when is posted is 25. i qickly realized... it is not my road i cant do anything about it. So i talk to the police and ask them to sit in my yard behind my shop and catch the speeders... in 7 months i have NEVER seen these slack cops potrol this road.. the just dont care. BUT just today i put my atv on the highway to travel about 100 yards down a county road with no traffic and i get pulled over. He tells me he will own my atv if he catches me on the road again..... The police officers in florence county sc are a wast of out tax money. everyone should buy a gun and protect themselves, stop paying for these idots to burn gas all day long and do nothing

I had no idea Florence, SC was in Fairfax, VA.

Yeah, WTF is up with that Florence, SC post? That was kinda random.
