New Rules Will Strengthen Safety Requirement for Riders
Beginning July 1, 2015, the province is implementing the following changes.
More types of ORVs & ATVs including two-up ATVs, side-by-side ATVs & utility-terrain vehicles will be allowed to use the shoulder of public roads. All riders — including drivers & passengers of all ages will have to wear a helmet & use a seatbelt or foot rests, where applicable.
The province is allowing an education period between July 1 to September 1, 2015, before violators tickets are issued. However, during this period police officers may still lay a charge through a summon.
NOTE: Drivers must hold at least a G2 or M2 driver’s licence, and the vehicle must be registered and insured. Carry your documents.
