(a) Before operating any micro utility truck, all-terrain vehicle or golf cart on any public highway, street, road or alley within the corporate limits of the city and each calendar year thereafter, the vehicle shall be registered with the city and a registration decal shall be obtained and placed on the micro utility truck, all-terrain vehicle or golf cart. The registration fee shall be as set forth in Section 13-420(i). Such decal will contain the following information: (1) City of Peabody; (2) Year the registration is valid for; (3) Registration number; (4) Type of vehicle (micro utility truck, ATV, or golf cart); and (5) A citation to this ordinance.

(b) Prior to the issuance of the registration, each applicant shall first present such vehicle for an official inspection. If, upon inspection and completion of the registration application, such vehicle is found to be in safe mechanical condition, and upon establishing proof of insurance, proof that such applicant has a valid driver’s license, and payment of the fees herein provided, a registration decal shall be issued to the owner who shall attach it to the vehicle. The registration decal shall be displayed in such a manner as to be clearly visible from the rear of the vehicle.

(c) The following information will be filed with the police department and available for public inspection: (1) the first and last name of the individual registering the vehicle; (2) the number on the registration decal; (3) the year/make/model of the vehicle; (4) the date the registration was granted; and (5) whether such registration is currently suspended or revoked.

(d) At all times, all information on the registration decal shall be free from any obstruction impacting legibility of the registration decal, however slight the obstruction, and whether done intentionally or unintentionally.

In the event of sale or other transfer of ownership of any vehicle license under the provisions of this section, the existing registration and the right to use the numbered registration display shall immediately expire, and the registration decal shall be removed by the owner immediately. It is unlawful for any person to affix the registration decal on any other vehicle.

(f) In the event a registration decal is lost or destroyed, the city clerk, upon proper showing by the licensee and the payment of a fee as set forth in Section 13-420(i), shall issue a replacement registration decal in accordance with the provisions of this ordinance.

(g) It shall be unlawful for any person to:

(1) Operate, or for the owner thereof knowingly to permit the operation, upon a public street, road, highway, or alley within the corporate limits of the city, any micro utility truck, all-terrain vehicle or golf cart, as defined herein:

(a) which is not registered;

(b) which does not have the current registration decal attached thereto and displayed thereon;

(c) by any person that does not have a valid driver’s license, or to knowingly permit such operation by a person that the owner knows, or should know, does not have a valid driver’s license; and

(d) by any person with a registration granted under this ordinance that is currently suspended or revoked.

(2) Display, cause or permit to be displayed, or to have in possession, any registration receipt, or registration decal knowing the same to be fictitious or to have been canceled, revoked, suspended or altered;

(3) Lend to or knowingly permit the use by one not entitled thereto any registration receipt or registration decal issued to the person so lending or permitting the use thereof; and

(4) Remove, conceal, alter, mark or deface the registration decal, or otherwise obstruct, however slight, and whether intentional or unintentional, any information on the registration decal.
