A to Z guide to off-roading in Nevada
By April Corbin, Las Vegas Sun
Off-road adventures abound in the Silver State, but the majority of residents are skirting the law when they jump into their dune buggies or climb aboard their all-terrain vehicles or dirt bikes.
In July 2012, Nevada began requiring registration for almost all off-highway and all-terrain vehicles, and just under five years later, compliance is still low. The Nevada Commission on Off-Highway Vehicles estimates there are 400,000 off-highway vehicles in the state, but as of the end of last month only 43,145 were registered with the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles.
That’s a registration rate of only about 10 percent.
Officials are hoping to boost that number with a new online resource that appeals to owners’ sense of adventure.
