Task force to crack down on ATV and car “takeovers” passes committee

Submitted by CTInsideInvestigator t3_124xuo7 in newhaven

A recent incident in Simsbury saw upwards of 200 vehicles in a “takeover” during which drivers performed donuts in the Simsbury high school parking lot and evaded police, but the task force would also address large groups of ATV and dirt bike riders who often participate in “ride outs” through the streets of Hartford, New Haven and neighboring towns.

As a Simsbury native, I can attest to the idea that immediate reactions are popular in a town full of executives & professionals who move there for safety and quiet. Also, the public schools are top notch.

hmmm well there's a lot here to unpack. are other races not decent or successful?

Seems to me it's more political connections than anything else as to why action was taken so quickly after only one occurrence when this has been happening for years and years all around the state.

Cities aren't loud, cars and other heavy vehicles are loud.

And like I said in my other comment, I'll believe it when I see it regarding the results of this task force.

If the task force is not successful we can create an assign an additional task force to hold them accountable!

Cue some apologist dumbass saying “if the city would just build a track for these bored kids, they wouldn’t have to ride in the streets”

Imagine buying an ATV to only ride it on the streets, just buy a dam motorcycle

Park dump trucks on Whalley Ave in both left lanes, and on Long Wharf from dusk to dawn. That'll cut down on racing. Make roads narrow and it'll be unsafe to speed.
