    It’s all about protectionism for an obsolete car industry. If we legalized golf carts, and ATVs, most families in the suburbs would buy one of those. They’d use it for groceries, school runs, dentist appointments, and getting coffee down the street. Their main car would sit idle the majority of time, because it’s a hassle to drive a large car. It would make living in suburbia someone more tolerable, as you would see your neighbors more in golf carts.

      I know this isn’t exactly an urban area but ATVs can be legally driven on the road in West Virginia
