Also, sometimes on the weekend the trails are like a goddamn freeway out there with all the quads running up and down the trails. I long for the good old days when you could go for miles without crossing paths with another offroad vehicle.
In my opinion, quads have ruined the sport of offroading. Now everyone and their dog has one and they all bring them everytime they go camping for the weekend. It used to be that if you wanted to do some serious offroading you basically had to build your own. Now anyone with a few bucks in their pocket can go out and buy an atv. ... and go for it... with all their ignorance in tow.

Aaaand the truth comes out.
The only reason you care about the safety is because you don't want as many people to be able to afford quads, and we all know that with greater safety and engineering comes greater cost.
"I long for the good old days when you could go for miles without crossing paths with another offroad vehicle."
The picture of the ATV's you posted, the ones you think should replace the current models after we ban them, would cost around 20k. For comparison, my boss just bought a 2009 Honda 420 for 6k.
