All terrain vehicles should be covered by the same laws as motorcycles.  

Wow, are they legally allowed on the road like that? Down here in Florida we not only have a bunch of ATVs, we also have golf carts which a lot of our senior citizens use to get around town. This is acceptable by our local police...as long as they stay off the main road running through town and don't try to cross our very large bridge going out of town. They are also allowed to drive on the sidewalks, which I don't believe is safe for pedestrians but so far there have been no problems. We also have to deal with those motorized chairs. I almost hit one when some old guy crossed the road right in front of me.

Here, they are not licensed or insured because they are not allowed on public roads...although I do see idiots running them down the roads at times.

However, if they are CAUGHT using them on the road, there is a pretty hefty fine involved, as well as having the ATV impounded.

Sounds like it's the same the world over! I see them here on our roads too especially out in the countrsy and they seem as though they think they have a highway code all to themselves. They turn without any warning and when they are on a straight an narrow road they hog it all and you can't get past them.

We have other vehicles here too. You know those three-wheeled things you see in Italian films that look like somthing from before the World War? Well they are from extinct! Add to them all the electrical cars that don't need a licence either AND all those younger folks who use their skateboards on the roads too if it's slightly down hill. They have no brakes and at pedestrian crossings they dodge through those trying to cross

I agree that all those who use the roads should pay. After all they are also using all the lines that are drawn there and are quite, if not even more, likely to cause accidents

I agree that both vehicles and motorcycles should have had the same kind of laws, but for me id rather have more strict laws on the motorcycles. the reason for that is there are more accidents in the motorcycle than any other vehicle and the main cause of that is the person is either sleepy or drunk. there are so many cases now than ever before since the popularity of motor cycle here in the Philippines.
