I saw the kid. The ATV was flipped over in grass area by Beth drive.

I thought it was someone with a chainsaw. then I heard it coming down the road. this isn't a rural area, why are they riding on the street?

We have the same problem on West Chestnut. Every time you see or hear it call the non-emergency number and complain complain complain! Until they are so sick of hearing from you! I would also try and see where the kid lives. Here is the KPD non -emergency number. 845-331-1671 Good Luck!

Call the police it is illegal to ride an atv on the road license or no license plate!

my friend Mary and I walk in that neighborhood. we saw them driving on Norma St and go into a driveway.it does make allot of noise and is dusty.

leave the kids alone

i would think that the town would be worried about being sued if this kid hurt himself or if he hit someone else while riding on the roads.

we had a similar case down here in Springfield.

Buuford, most likely you don't live in this neighborhood. People in Hillside Acres respect the law, and more importantly they respect the rights of their neighbors to peace and quiet. There are places where ATV's are allowed to operate, and a residental neighorhood is not one of them.

Unfortunately NYS has turned into a large pile of Fecal Matter there is really no place to ride such machinery around leagally..

Buuford, I agree with Retired94. One would think you might be concerned with not only the safety of the kids riding the ATV, but of the residents of the neighborhood they are operating in, whether you live there or not. We should all be watching out for each other.

... and why was this issue closed?

my husband and I lived on Beth Drive before we retired to Florida. All of the neighbors got along back then and no one would let their kids ride motorcycles on the street. Must be a bad seed. Move to Florida. Sharon and Bob Kent

It is illegal to ride this on any public street and the parents can lose their drivers license for up to one year just because the kid is riding his ATV illegally on the street!

Wow, I didn't realize that the parents could lose their driver's license! Maybe they'll start paying attention now to their little cherub!

A new weekend with the same old noise. I drove past Norma Ct and saw the kid heading down the road. So much for following laws.

If this is a continuous thing which it seems to be why do you not all the police and tell them about it . And request that they come and be around in your neighborhood in a unmarked car that does not scream police just by the look of the car.

Call the cops and complain, complain, complain! The squeaky wheel get the oil!

take picture find were he lives take that information to the police
get the officers name and badge number
if nothing is done talk to the chief of police

I believe that this is the same "vehicle" that blew through the stop sign on Linderman Ave at Hillcrest and nearly caused an accident. My husband probably would have been hurt by being broadsided driving his car - but the ATV rider probably would have been killed. Parents - it's up to YOU to save your childs life by being responsible and mature. Just say NO!!! *** BTW - the city of Kingston PD has had officers watching for vehicles that don't stop at this particular intersection, but they can't be everywhere at once or always there at the right time.

Let the kid ride. If he is being reckless you should contact police but if he's aware of his surroundings and respects traffic signs don't give him a hard time. He is simply just making his way to the trails. Lighten up people live a little.

Hahndo did you even read any of the other comments? He has blown through stop signs and almost caused an accident. Read before you type that way you do not look like a fool!

I also live in Hillside and have heard these guys repeatedly. I don't have a problem if people are riding their ATVs at a slow speed and are just making their way to a riding trail. However, the guys riding these ATV's, yes there are more than just the one young rider, are flying through the neighborhood, driving on the wrong side of the street, blowing stop signs and have shown no respect for people walking with baby strollers, dogs or just out for a nice stroll. A little bit of respect would go a long way.

Respect it is illegal and the police should be called every time these kids are out on the street!

It doesn't affect me in anyway. Let the nice kids ride, they are causing no harm

Let the kids ride they need to be cautious they are just haveing fun don't call the cops unless they are vandalizeing anything god led them e

Let them be*

Quad Riders: I don't mine you kids out having fun and riding on the trails, but just keep in mind that this is a residential neighborhood, with traffic laws, zoning regulations and noise ordinances, and not a rural setting.

Be respectful of the residents' right for peace and quiet, and then they might just return the favor.

StreetRider: your comment "why don't you liberal hippies come out and say somthing instead of crying up a storm...?"

We were also once young and naive...and if someone did come out and confront us, guess who's house would then be targeted for vandalism?

wow, all day long today I'm hearing atv noises from Norrma Ct. I know the little children read this site, evidenced by their wonderful comments above. Kiddies, it's illegal to ride atv's in this neighborhood. Do you need to hear it from the police directly?

yea riding in the street is not the best but what are the quads and bikes supposed to do? sit in the garage till thier dads take them to a track once in a blue moon? i say ride them in the street but be carefull and try to hit a backwood trail asap or open lot

Like I said we ride our quad on the road to get to the trails we need to go to. But it seems like every time somewon wants to run us down in there car and say how it's so illegal. And like I said again were out on our quad having fun. When we ride its the middle of the day. It's not like it's 12 at night everyone is up. What is the difference if its my quad going down the street or a loud street legal dirtbike other that he is allowed to be on the road you gunna call the cops cause he has a loud dirtbike.

I don't understand what the big deal is. We're out having fun on our quads. My parents used to ride machines quads snowmobiles and dirtbikes all the time. And I've been riding since I was playing tee ball. And now it seems to be such a big deal. And I don't even know we're you people live and I wouldn't vandlize your house if I did know were you live. And to the lady that swerved around a car to come yell at us. Why would you say if you hit us you would get in trouble. If you were a good driver you wouldn't hit any body

quad rider the plain and simple fact of the matter it is illegal! and from the sounds of this kid is not careful in anyway and needs to be stopped before he gets hurt or hurts someone else!

There's more then one kid riding through. Just because one kid is irresponible and ran a stop sign dosent mean everyone else is bad. And yea it's illegal whoopy do. Having fun I honestly don't care. Just remember your the people who ruined some kids having fun. And what you haven't broken a law before yea sure ok

Mt guest .. Are you happy that noone has ridden through your little neighborhood to get to a trail saftley because it isnt a busy road... Huh? Well because of YOU! One of my best friends tried taking a different way just for your convienance he lost his dad when he was young and his mom lives off social services so doesnt have the money for a truck... But he was the nicest most respectful kid i ever met in my entire life and he was taking a busy street but with less houses for less annoyance and he was hit by a crazy driver riding on the other side of the street and he broke 27 bones in his body and is in coma.... They do not know if he is gonna wake up ... And the reason he is hurt is becuase of you! He just was trying to cooperate and have fun and now i may never get to say good bye ... I hope all of you take apreciation for what you have and try not to take it away from someone else when they are just riding fast so they dont want to be on the streets for a long time i just wanted to let you know what you had caused and hope to god that you just let it go so what if they ride 100 feet of a road that has 8 cars an hour on it rather than a road with 800 cars an hour i just hope you understand that we go there for the saftey of everyone it may not seem like it at times but we try ...

To getwellsoon bud while i am sorry this happened to your friend. The fact remains the crazy driver was not totally at fault if your friend was illegally riding an unregistered uninspected 4 wheeler on a public road which even if they are registered is not allowed!

He was on a street bike

you can try but the fact remains that both of you are violating state law and the police state or otherwise are sworn to uphold the law and that includes you uncle. And it is not harassment since you are doing something illegal.

Yes ma'am. I will try and not go thru rolling meadows. I mean I don't have to go thru if you guys just wanna bring us the pizza to the trails we ride. I could call it in and you deliver and nobody breaks the law. If you wanna do that.

And I just need to get this clear why don't you like us riding threw your neighborhood

Riders: I don't believe the big issue is you riders taking public roads to the trails. I believe the issue is the level of noise and the perceived lack of respect of the homeowners right to acceptable noise levels.

If you would proceed quietly without the constant revving of your engines, then I think home owners would be more tolerant, so lay off the throttle and the hot dogging and see if things change.

I was young once and I did ride myself, so I do understand.

Copy

Our right to peace and quiet in our homes is being ignored. Young riders have been at it for 4 hours.

This was a while ago.

Maybe the residents need to look into getting spike strips just like the police have!

I would deff like to talk to somewon in person tho. I'm gettin tired of this behind the phone type crap

The idea is that the residents will use them when you go ripping through their yards. and spike strips are portable so they can be used anywhere.

Ok man good luck with your spike strips 👍👍

Dear ATV and MX riders the residents can't stop us from riding

I think people should mind their own business and leave it be. I'll ride through there if I want to. Get over it.

call the pd. The chance of them getting the person is slim if you don't call. arc

save this blog for cps.

I am a nationally-certified motorcycle safety instructor who lost a classmate many years ago because his older brother was "just having fun" on a minibike after dark in a prairie. The brother ran over Joe and crushed his skull.

I cannot believe there are so many ignorant people commenting on this.

Folks, riding ATVs on public roadways is illegal for some very good reasons. To engage in name-calling and ageism is unproductive.

ATVs are unlicensed motor vehicles because they CANNOT be licensed without proper equipment, and are never insured for street riding.

They are often too loud (don't have street-legal mufflers) and wake people up. They don't have headlights and other lighting (nor mirrors) so they are less visible.

In 2004 in Pennsylvania, there were 241 ATV rider injuries and 20 fatalities in on-road incidents.

This issue is becoming more widespread across the country. Be aware that new strategies are being implemented by law enforcement to put a stop to it and to save necks and lives.

I will close by asking you these questions: How would you feel if one of those fatalities was someone you know or love and you didn't do anything to stop it? And how would you feel if you are one of those who posted "Leave them alone" or "Let them ride" in this thread? And how would you feel knowing that by saying those things, you are just encouraging people to break laws? What does that say about YOUR character? What if you became Joe's older brother because you were "just having fun?"

Hello, I am a dirt bike rider in an area where there is no legal destination for riders to go besides our own property and other properties we take time to get consent forms. Last summer I used to ride my Honda zr 200 5 times a week totalling 120 hours of riding. I do not ride reckless, in fact I obey every street sign and law besides the fact of me riding. I always rid at high gear at low rpm's on slower roads where there are a lot of houses. I ran onto a fellow rider, he is a legal street rider and he told me of some issues I am now aware of that house owners tend to be blind of. Acceleration. All bike, steel legal or not are very loud when accelerating at a faster rate. I do it all the time, but I never speed.

Here's what I have to say conserving everyone. If the child is riding recklessly, like these baboons then find them and confront them at their house. If the child is passionate about riding, they must be taught the right way. It's up to you guys to take a second, don't yell, and share your consensus.

Let me tell you about my experience. I have only 1 track in my area that can get boring, so I went riding down a road I never went down before. I am aware of how far the police station is so I know I can only ride in uncharted territory for 10 minutes before coming across a cop. A month later I got a single complaint from an older lady. She waved me down and I graciously stopped and listened. She had a problem with noise, without argument I agreed and kept to my word. She waved me down later to thank me for my efforts to lower the noise but enjoy a peaceful ride.

My neighbors are super friendly and come forward to me, countless times they warned me about cops just down the road. I took time to watch YouTube bike accidents, to watch the dangers. Im 16 now and I pasted my driver's test with almost perfect, soon to get my motercycle license. As a thought full rider of those around me I start to see the flaws on box riders,aka cars. Always on their phones, blowing through stop signs. I actually confront them on my bike, which is illegal on the road, because I expect they would do the same if I were driving unsafe.

Put it like this, there is a good side and a bad side, both meet the consequences because the other side doesn't get help. I don't support ignorant trashy riders.

My grandfather died that summer when I road the most, I was only pulled over once, mainly because the bike was off and I was on a pier watching the sun set. The cop asked questions and he did mention that I was a respectful rider, followed street signs, but he said I can't be on the road. I told him why I road so frequently so he told me this. "as long as I don't receive a complaint that you are a reckless driver, we will leave you alone for now, I know your a smart kid, but please make it easier for us by getting your motorcycle license so I can tell the people who call about you that your licensed."

Riders: being respectful goes a long way, don't be an a-hole when your riding or you won't be riding at all.

House owners: contacting g the police is OK, but here is a fact, it is illegal for cops to chase riders on the road, legal or not it is the cops fault for any injuries the kid gets on during the chase. I advise to wave them down and talk to them, or descretely find out where they live. Talking to the parents won't do much as my parents knew I was riding and would rather me outside then playing video games and wasting away a perfectly good life.

Fun fact about what the instructor said about dirt bike accidents, 78% of motorcycle (including illegal bikes as well) accidents involve a car, I know some personal experiences that many drivers have a personal vendetta against motorcycles(and dirt bikes) that even tried to cut me off or push me off the road almost creating an accident. This is why I am encouraging safe riders. You can't stop them from riding, it's just like a favorite game, don't expect to take it away without them finding another way to play it.

If anyone questions any percents I can link all primary resources on this matter explaining this issue on both sides. To me all it sound like are a bunch of rude kids riding, making a bad name for riders like me, and house owners that are stepping out of their power to stop it.
