Starting October 15th, operator safety training will be mandatory for atv users who are under 16 years old.
The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary says most if the erratic operators of atv’s are kids and parents need to be more accountable for their actions. Police held a news conference in St. John’s this morning, along with Deputy Chief Colin McNeil, Digital Government and Service Minister Elvis Loveless, as well as Dr. Richard Barter, clinical chief of emergency. Cst James Cadigan says parents are responsible and most of the erratic, dangerous operator complaints are kids and the onus is on owners, parents or guardians. Starting October 15th, operator safety training will be mandatory for atv users who are under 16 years old. As well, 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. Proof of successful completion must be carried at all times while using an off-road vehicle.
