(b)

No person illegally operating any recreational vehicle described in this section shall elude or attempt to elude any police officer upon being signaled to stop or upon being told to stop. This subsection shall apply upon the occurrence of any lawful act by a police officer in telling or signaling any vehicle operator to stop by any oral statement, siren, flashing light, hand signal or other signal. This shall apply whether the police officer ordering or signaling the stop is in a vehicle or afoot. This subsection is intended to prohibit acts to elude a police officer, including acts consisting of increasing speed, changing directions, turning off lights or taking similar steps to avoid or escape from a police officer. A failure to notice a signal shall not be deemed eluding or attempting to elude a police officer under this section. Any person apprehended in violation of this subsection shall be subject to a fine.
