   @DLo Yes, deliberately damaging mailboxes and anything inside is a Federal crime which should be referred to US Postal Investigators. It is also State crime so I’m sure both Angencies work together but under charges within their jurisdictions. In other words, these criminals are in trouble! They deserve whatever consequences they face..

   Does anyone know if hitting the mailboxes is a federal crime, seems like it would be.

   @givemeabreak

   Yes. But if you need to verify that come on over.

   FS316.2123 Operation of an ATV on Certain Road ways

   1) The operation of an ATV, as defined in s. 317.0003, upon the public roads or streets of this state is prohibited, except that an ATV may be operated during the daytime on an unpaved roadway where the posted speed limit is less than 35 miles per hour.

   Any ATV operation that is permitted under subsection (1) or subsection (2) may be undertaken only by a licensed driver or a minor who is under the direct supervision of a licensed driver. The operator must provide proof of ownership under chapter 317 upon the request of a law enforcement officer.

   A County can allow them on paved but each road would have to be approved and signage stating that ATVs will be on that section of the Road way.

   And Knowing Is Half The Battle

   @penelope

   Have you satisfied all of these criteria?

   Low Speed Vehicles
   Section 320.01(41), Florida Statutes, defines LSVs as “any four-wheeled vehicle whose top speed is greater than 20 miles per hour, but not greater than 25 miles per hour.” LSVs must be registered, titled and insured with personal injury protection (PIP) and property damage liability (PDL) insurance. Any person operating an LSV must have a valid driver license in their immediate possession.

   LSVs may be operated only on streets where the posted speed limit is 35 MPH or less and must be equipped with the following safety equipment:

   Headlamps;
   Front and rear turn signals;
   Stop lamps;
   Tail lamps;
   Reflex reflectors, red – one each side and one on the rear;
   Exterior mirror on the driver side and an interior rear-view mirror or exterior mirror on passenger side;
   Parking brake;
   Windshield;
   Seat belt for each designated seat; and a
   Vehicle identification number (VIN).
   To title and register an LSV, take the following documents to a Motor Vehicle Service Center:

   Manufacturer’s Certificate of Origin;
   Form HSMV 82040 (Application for Title);
   Proof of Florida insurance (minimum $10,000 PDL and $10, 000 PIP);
   Identification – driver license, ID card or passport; and
   Applicable fees
   Title fee
   Plate fee
   Initial registration fee, if applicable
   Registration fee (varies by weight of vehicle)

   @Alex: Jack’s Branch Rd is no lower than 45 mph, Crabtree is 45 mph, Muscogee ranges from 30 to 40 mph.

   And like clockwork, some dude shows up at the Hwy 97 Tom Thumb today to fuel up after crossing Hwy 29.

   Those vehicles aren’t insured, are not tagged or licensed. They are off road vehicles that do not belong on paved roadways.

   “a deputy told you” is not the law.

   @Alex:
   A golf cart may be operated only upon a county road that has been designated by a county, a municipal street that has been designated by a municipality, a two-lane county road located within the jurisdiction of a municipality designated by that municipality, or a road that is owned and maintained by a water control district and has been designated by that water control district, for use by golf carts. Before making such a designation, the responsible local governmental entity must first determine that golf carts may safely travel on or cross the public road or street, considering factors including the speed, volume, and character of motor vehicle traffic using the road or street, and if such designation is to be made by a water control district, the district must also receive approval from the county in which the road to be designated is located. Upon a determination that golf carts may be safely operated on a designated road or street, the responsible governmental entity shall post appropriate signs to indicate that such operation is allowed.

   Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, if authorized by the Division of Recreation and Parks of the Department of Environmental Protection, a golf cart may be operated on a road that is part of the State Park Road System if the posted speed limit is 35 miles per hour or less.

   @givemeabreak… we own a golf cart and it is Street legal.

10. Alex on May 31st, 2025 9:51 pm

    @ give me a break.
    I was told by a deputy,as long as posted speed is 35MPH
    Or less, 4 wheeers and golf carts are allowed.

11. Give me a break on May 31st, 2025 4:46 pm

    Adjacent to this discussion is the growing problem of people driving golf carts, four wheelers, and other non-legal vehicles on roadways all over the north end.

    It happens all the time on Crabtree, Jacks Branch, Muscogee and elsewhere.

    You’re not legal to drive on the roads with these vehicles people! You endanger yourselves and other drivers.

12. Sk on May 31st, 2025 12:41 pm

    The police haven’t talked to everyone. Ours was hit and we were able to reshape it. I could answer alot of their questions I was awake at the time. I think they should be charged.

13. Just dumb on May 31st, 2025 9:25 am

    @David, if they find who did it this is actually a federal crime if I recall correctly and can be very costly. The dummies who did it might be in deeper than just “repairs”. I hope they are found and charged with it.

14. JJ on May 31st, 2025 9:20 am

    @bavid lamb
    Plus $200 over cost
    Schaag Rd lost about the same amount of boxes a year ago.

15. David Lamb on May 31st, 2025 4:25 am

    Let the vandals purchase and repair every mail box they destroyed
