Speeding
Reminder of Ohio
's Motor Scooter Laws
Motor scooters and mini-motorcycles have become hot items among children
and teenagers.
Parents, grandparents and other family members are spending their hard
earned money to purchase scooters and mini-motorcycles – just to find out that
most cannot be operated on
Ohio
’s roads and their children - or grandchildren cannot legally operate the
vehicle.
In Ohio, the motor scooters and mini-motorcycles cannot be legally
operated on Ohio’s roadways unless - they are titled, registered, covered by
the proper insurance and the operator is at least 16 years old with a motorcycle
license or endorsement on his or her driver license.
Most of the small electric and gas powered motor scooters, which are sold
in sporting good stores and department stores, are not roadworthy, therefore
cannot be titled or registered.
In order for the scooter or the mini-motorcycle to be considered
roadworthy each must contain a seat, not more than three wheels in contact with
the ground, contain the proper brake lights, turn signals, horn, rearview
mirrors and headlights.
The county title office will then issue a title for your motor scooter or
mini-motorcycle. The title will cost $5.
After you purchase your title, you will need to register your vehicle.
The annual registration costs $24.50, plus a permissive tax if required and any
new plate fees.
The motor scooter or mini-motorcycle will be issued a motorcycle plate,
which will need to be attached to the vehicle.
Please make sure you have the proper insurance coverage on your motor
scooter or mini-motorcycle, before registering your vehicle. The owner and the
operator of the motor scooter or mini-motorcycle are subject to financial
responsibility suspensions if the proper insurance is not maintained.
And finally, in order for the individual to legally operate the motor
scooter or mini-motorcycle – he or she must be at least 16 years old and hold
a valid driver license with a motorcycle endorsement or a motorcycle license. It
is very important to know
Ohio
’s road laws and signs before an individual attempts to operate a vehicle of
any kind on
Ohio
’s roadways. Licensed drivers have been tested on their knowledge and skills.
Please, know the law before you purchase a motor scooter or a
mini-motorcycle. Know where they may be operated and who can operate them. If
you have questions you may contact the BMV at 614-752-7800 and you also need to
check with your local jurisdiction before you make the purchase.
It’s about your safety, your children’s safety and other drivers’
safety.

Chatty burglar overstays welcome, gets
arrested
WINNSBORO, Texas (AP) - An apparently intoxicated suspect chatted with a
burglary victim long enough for officers to arrive and arrest him, authorities
said.
John Michael Baker, 25, of Winnsboro was jailed Friday on bond totaling
$59,500, the Wood County Sheriff's Office said.
Baker was charged with burglary of a habitation and burglary of a
vehicle. He was also wanted and charged in Franklin County with being a felon in
possession of a firearm, possession of marijuana and burglary of habitation, a
jailer told The Associated Press.
Jail records did not list an attorney for Baker.
Sheriff's Chief Deputy Debbie Foster said a woman saw a man breaking into
her home, and she called her husband.
The husband hurried home and saw Baker making his getaway. He called 911
before heading over to talk to the suspect, whom he knows. The men chatted by
the side of the road until deputies arrived.
Foster told the Tyler Morning Telegraph that Baker was "pretty
intoxicated."
