N.J. guidelines could lead to ATV, dirt bike crackdown. Riders face seizures, fines.

"The misuse of these vehicles on roadways poses a significant threat to the safety of the driving public and pedestrians, while their unlawful use on public lands endangers the natural landscape and natural resources," Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin said in a news release.
