Submit questions to For Your Information, The Wisconsin State Journal, Madison, Wis. 53701, Laws Control Odometer Adjustments Can I legally turn back the speedometer on my car? I've heard that automobile dealers may do so before selling a used car. It's the odometer that registers miles traveled on a motor vehicle, not the speedometer, and a dealer may not turn it back unless he turns it all the way back to zero, according to the State Dept.

of Transportation. If the dealer leaves the odometer where it is. he must provide the previous owner's mileage statement, which also includes his name and address. While the law does not prohibit individuals from turning back the odometer, persons who contemplate this deception can face a civil action, possibly for fraud, if discovered. Mini-Bikes Must Follow Motorcycle Laws Is it legal to operate mini-bikes on streets or highways? According to the division of motor vehicles, mini-bikes that are designed for street use, must be driven by an operator who is 16 or over and has a driver's license, and the driver must wear a helmet with eye protection and have the headlight on whenever the bike is in operation.

But a mini-bike intended for off-road use would not qualify for registration, since it would not meet minimum equipment standards. To operate a mini-bike 011 a highway, it can be registered if certification is furnished from the manufacturer stating that the vehicle complies with federal guidelines for road 'use, and the vehicle conforms to Wisconsin equipment standards. But even if the mini-bike is registered, there are no circumstances where persons under 16 may cross a highway, or drive the bike on or adjacent to it. A person under 16 could cross a highway legally, if he dismounted and walked the vehicle across. In Conflict With Rules Highway Dept.

Of that amount, Johnson said, $117 million was paid in compensation and pension to Wisconsin veterans and to the dependents of deceased veterans.
