CARO — Tuscola County Undersheriff Glen Skrent was reminding off-road vehicle riders not to ride on county roads.

“We have been getting calls from citizens stating they heard you can drive an ORV on the road,” Skrent said.

“The law has not been changed on that and you still can’t drive a quad, dirtbike, etc. on a public road in Tuscola County.”

Some farm exemptions apply, he said.

“The law did change recently and does allow you to operate a snowmobile on Tuscola County roads and there are rules that apply for that,” Skrent said.

"We can't continue to utilize the Black Hills in the fashion we have, particularly in the past 10 years. Just because the hill is there doesn't mean we need to climb it and produce another trail. Those ruts are there for years."
