RCMP are reminding riders that the freedom of riding an ATV comes with rules.
They say many collisions involving ATV’s are preventable. Some rules they are asking people to keep in mind include wearing an approved helmet, only operating an ATV when sober and alert, and that people under the age of 14 need to be accompanied by someone over the age of 18.
Every year, RCMP attend collisions, some of which are fatal, that could have been avoided if people were responsible and followed the rules.
