I read the article and noticed what all the complainers above missed - IT'S FREE. That means there's no charge.

I think all the rules and regulations are getting ridiculous! Again I say, we must all start wearing bubble wrap, because there is no such thing as an accident. And people no longer take responsibility for their own actions or for teaching their children how to ride properly. It's always someone else's fault. So layer on the bubble wrap. I am quite frankly sick and tired of everything costing me more and more for recreation. People need to become responsible citizens, come on people!

I don't agree that the parents should carry a card because 9 times out of 10 the parents have been riding for a long time and the kids are the next genereation. And as someone who learned to ride late in life, riding ability should not be judged by a test, navigating in the sand dunes is a matter of common sense. All this law is ment to do is charge money for a low cost fun activity. Accidents won't be prevented with a test, because they are just that accidents.

DUMB DUMB DUMB. That's all I have so say. Carrying a little piece of paper in your pocket does not make you a safe rider. But whatever, find another stupid program to waste our already limited funds on. So maybe one day you can make us all take the class and maybe you can make it a requirement to carry that card, but you can bet your last dollar that it is not going to make things any better. It's the difference between knowing what's right and doing what's right when riding in the dunes. We already know what's right and taking a class isn't going to make us any smarter. And you can also bet I won't be taking that class. I've lived here my whole life so I don't need you or your cards to tell me how to ride. Thanks once again Governer Tax-and-Gouge-me for your profound waste of a political seat.
