DeLand, FL – Only minutes into Thursday’s Volusia County Council meeting, County Manager Jim Dinneen said he would not ask for a ban on monster trucks on county beaches.
Dinneen told council members that someone would likely be hit by another type of vehicle and, “I’d be giving people the impression that other vehicles are less dangerous.”
Dinneen adding that he could see possibly banning vehicles that aren’t street legal and added he did not want to be “bullied” in reference to a lifted truck rally planned Sunday on the beach in New Smyrna Beach. Click here for more information on the rally.
This statement came after county officials admitted earlier this week that such a ban was being considered for safety reasons. Click here for more on that part of the story.
