    People with EUCs are almost always fucking assholes who go 40 mph on sidewalks or fly past stop signs on the road because they want to have the best of both worlds. They then turn around and say they arent a motorized vehicle so they could be able to go 60 mph on that dirt path unrestricted.

        The problem is, we’re not speaking generally. We’re talking about the BC MVA, which sets out specific definitions for terms (e.g. “vehicle”) and then specifies both allowances and prohibitions for how objects like “vehicles” can operate on public roads and such.

        The article suggests there’s a consensus that EUCs don’t fit within a permitted category under the MVA, so the rule of leniety doesn’t come into play.
