Said written permission must be in the possession of the person operating the motor-driven vehicle and must be presented upon demand to any peace officer or police officer so demanding.
On any property owned, leased or controlled by the Town of Webster, except on trails duly designated by the Town for the use of such vehicles at the times and in the manner so designated.
On property owned by the Town of Webster and on privately owned property as follows:
In a careless, reckless or negligent manner so as to endanger or be likely to endanger the safety and property of any person, including the operator of said vehicle.
Between sunset and sunrise or when lights are required for safety, without displaying at least one lighted headlight and taillight.
