This Just In

Our Editor reached out earlier today asking people to keep an eye out on this illegal vehicle riding through Town. It didn't take long to catch these images. You can click on the images to enlarge them.

Comments are suggesting John Robinson is the owner of the vehicle and I have confirmed this is in fact the case. The Police told him NOT to drive the vehicle and they were under the impression he was going to load the vehicle onto a truck and take it away. That did not happen. Robinson waited for the Police to leave and they immediately got in the vehicle and drove off, illegally.

Some people simply have no respect for the law and or Law Enforcement Officers. I agree with one commenter, I would NEVER allow my child to risk his life on the road in such a vehicle. Then again, I'm nothing like John Robinson.

If you do in fact see this vehicle on the road contact the Police immediately.

Is it illegal or not? I know that you said the police said so.

I have been informed it is absolutely illegal in the City of Salisbury.

It is also illegal for anyone without a driver's license or permit to drive it as well and I know for a fact this is the case with this vehicle. No mention of names. In fact we have rejected several comments using the minor, (underage) child's name.

Vehicle Service Bills

HB 1167 / SB 306 – Vehicle Laws – Motorized Passenger Scooters – Use in Ocean City - This bill permits a licensed driver (not a learner’s permit, nor a provisional license) to operate a motorized passenger 3-wheel scooter, within the municipal boundaries of Ocean City, on a local highway and on any portion of a state highway designated as a bicycle way, except where prohibited by the SHA.

As long as you have a license you can operate it! Call Mathias or Conway. They wrote it! And it was enacted July 1

anonymous 6:34, aka John Robinson,

That's Ocean City, NOT Salisbury. I was told you already tried using that excuse today and got bitch slapped for trying to recite the OC law. Nice try but you are completely full of crap.

Anon 6:34, according to the Ocean City Police Dept. the vehicle in question can only be used on the island of Ocean City, not West OC, Berlin or anywhere else in the State. You must wear a helmet and have a valid driver's license also. It can only be driven in the bus/bike lane with tall flags attached for ease of visibility for high profile vehicles, i.e. busses and trucks. The only time you can drive across lanes of Coastal Hwy. is when you are entering from a side street and crossing the highway or to get to a left turn lane to make a u-turn or left turn. Is that simple enough for you, John?

Joe, I heard about your confrontation with JR today. I also saw the merchants on the downtown plaza high-fiving each other as JR disobeyed the Police and drove his clown car off into the sunset. They don't have to be terrorized by him anymore. Good job by you.
