As of yesterday, operator safety training is mandatory for users of off-road vehicles. This includes those under the age of 16 years of age, anyone registering an off-road for the first time, and those who have had their off-road vehicle registration suspended or cancelled because of a conviction. Anyone who is supervising a person under the age of 16 who is operating an off-road vehicle will be required to ensure that the person has completed the training. Operators are encouraged to download and review the free Off-Road Vehicles Handbook and take the free test online at MyGovNL. Upon completion of the training, which requires a minimum score of 80 per cent, the operator can print a certificate of completion or save it to a mobile phone. Approximately 1,600 users have already completed the free safety training program, which has been available on MyGovNL since May 24th. Proof of successful completion of safety operator training must be carried at all times while using an off-road vehicle.
