I've recently been thinking about getting an electric skateboard for my commute to and from school. Its on a hill and is in quite a remote area.
However, any sort of transportation which is gas/electric powered is banned from the streets. Riding them on the streets could result in a $5000 fine and 3 months imprisonment (if I remember correctly).
My question is, does the police in force this law strictly? Or could I get away saying I didn't know it was illegal? I'm currently still 16 and I'm wondering if they would actually throw me in jail.
Thank you!
