Frustrated by mopeds and e-bikes weaving through traffic like the rules don’t apply? You’re not alone.

This morning, a Ramapo officer observed a Honda ADV150 moped dangerously cutting off vehicles and weaving between lanes on Airmont Road near North DeBaun Avenue. The 25-year-old operator had no license plates and couldn’t provide proof of insurance. The vehicle was immediately towed, and multiple summonses were issued.

But tickets are just the beginning. True accountability happens in court. This case is now before the Village of Airmont Justice Court.

We’re committed to making our roads safer—every day, for everyone. Drive responsibly, and know we’re out there doing our part to keep our community safe.
