Ban beach vehicles 

Cambria

Randy Jordan’s letter (“Ride on, rookies,” Jan. 15), which presents the off-road vehicle industry as an assembly of good-hearted citizens, is outrageous. I am angry at the indecent self-interest it radiates: All hail to the almighty dollar, Mr. Jordan?

Tell the next mother who loses a son how much fun he had moments before his death, or how delighted he was minutes before his lifetime confinement in a wheelchair. The fact remains that California, through the Department of Motor Vehicles, receives big bucks through the licensing of ATVs. It’s all based on money, isn’t it? See outside the box of financial gain and view the dangerous recreational pastime for what it is: the cause of pain and suffering for the injured, for their relatives, and for the relatives of the dead. Oppose vehicle use on our beaches!

Readers Poll

How do you feel about the Santa Maria Speedway reopening? 

  • I'm so excited and can't wait to go this summer!
  • It's great that local racers will return to the Central Coast track.
  • I'll feel better once I see it last a few more years.
  • Ugh. I can already hear the noise and see the traffic.
