"Those are a good start. I have read multiple trail reports on multiple sites that suggest this does work, although possibly not everywhere. It is better to work with people to reach a resolve than against. So often society is looking to fix their problems without any real effort on their part. One idea is to work with the rental companies. Volunteer your time to teach etiquette classes to first time renters."
Got links to any of those trail reports? Multiple reports on multiple site would suggest that I'm not seeing things accurately. I'd love to see that, I do not mind being proved wrong. As far as teaching a class to renters, I was in the waverunner rental business for years and have rented boats and 4x4s many times here and in Utah, and there three things that you go over with ever renter every time: How to operate the vehicle safely, how to behave, and most importantly the current condition of the rental and what it will cost them if they damage it. A class would be redundant, the operator should have already covered it. From experience I can tell you that all 99% of the renters hear is static coming out of your mouth, they are waiting to get on the machine and go.
Just want to repost the original articles this thread started from, most of the points on this thread are in it. It shows different perspectives from homeowners to law enforcement to business owners, as well as what is actually happening. This thread has gotten more into feelings, which is a big part of it for sure; this is what is actually happening. the laws around this are a mess, the process of cleaning that up is the context for all of this:
