Adults are encouraged to teach young people off-road vehicle safety and ensure they are following all rules and requirements, including use of helmets and seatbelts.
RCMP NL is reminding parents and guardians of their role in providing proper supervision to all off-road vehicle riders under the age of 16 years. Adults are encouraged to teach young people off-road vehicle safety and ensure they are following all rules and requirements, including use of helmets and seatbelts. Supervisors must be at least 18 years of age, with a valid driver’s licence, and have successfully completed the approved provincial off-road vehicle safety training. They must also be able to see and be seen by the operator at all times, and be in a position to provide immediate directions to the operator.
Over this past year, our province has experienced devastating loss of life and serious life-altering injuries to operators and occupants of off-road vehicles, including our youth. These situations are tragic and sadly, they are often avoidable.
