tbone Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) Apparently you are not free to jump your TRX wherever you want. Based on the known information, it sounds like a gross overreach to me. https://www.motor1.com/news/494575/ram-trx-jump-driver-charged-18-counts/amp/ Edited March 16, 2021 by tbone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grbeck Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) I watched the video, and was surprised to find that I actually know this fellow (my wife worked with his mother). He has quite a collection of cars. Last saw him three years ago at the Harrisburg Auto Show. Edited March 16, 2021 by grbeck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rperez817 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Mr. Street Speed 717 should study and follow the guidelines from the Tread Lightly! organization. This will not only benefit others who wish to enjoy off-road and related activities, but also help him avoid legal troubles as well. Learn - Tread Lightly TREAD PRINCIPLES Travel Responsibly on land by staying on designated roads, trails and area. Go over, not around, obstacles to avoid widening the trails. Cross streams only at designated fords. when possible, avoid wet, muddy trails. On water, stay on designated waterways and launch your watercraft in designated areas. Respect the Rights of Others including private property owners, all recreational trail users, campers and others so they can enjoy their recreational activities undisturbed. Leave gates as you found them. Yield right of way to those passing you or going uphill. On water, respect anglers, swimmers, skiers, boaters, divers and those on or near shore. Educate Yourself prior to your trip by obtaining travel maps and regulations from public agencies. Plan for your trip, take recreation skills classes and know how to operate your equipment safely. Avoid Sensitive Areas on land such as meadows, lake shores, wetlands and streams. Stay on designated routes. This protects wildlife habitats and sensitive soils from damage. Don’t disturb historical, archeological or paleontological sites. On water, avoid operating your watercraft in shallow waters or near shorelines at high speeds. Do Your Part by modeling appropriate behavior, leaving the area better than you found it, properly disposing of waste, minimizing the use of fire, avoiding the spread of invasive species and repairing degraded areas.

Nice find. I know I definitley wouldn’t be putting videos of myself on YouTube without confirming I was 100% legally compliant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my understanding that either the jumps were filmed on the driver's OWN property, or that he had permission from the land owner to conduct the jump. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes sir Gbsharon, in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and all other U.S. states, people who commit violations of waterways laws can be charged even if those actions took place on private property with permission of the property owner, or on one's own property.

I was responding to the Tread Lightly! information, which says the person is to "respect the rights of private property owners." He did. And just because something is enshrined in the law doesn't mean we can't question it. At various points in our history, both Prohibition and the 55-mph and 65-mph speed limits were the law of the land. I can only hope and pray that, in 2021, no one is clueless enough believe that either one worked, let alone was ever a good idea.

This whole thing smack of overcharging...we'll see what the actual outcome of the case is. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
