RCMP reminds ATV users about Out of Bound areas

Thompson RCMP is reminding all ATV owners that the rules of the road also apply to all-terrain vehicles.

 

ATVs must not be driven on roadways, and anyone operating an off-road vehicle on city or private property or land without permission could face a fine of 237 dollars and 50 cents.

 

Constable Sandy Deibert explains why it’s important for ATV owners to follow the rules.

 

“The new season is upon us and we want to just make sure and remind people that city property, schools, sports fields, parks and that kind of thing are really off limits to ATVs. We want to make sure that those areas are kept in the best possible condition for use and we want to just ask that people stay off of them.”

 

Deibert goes on to say that the city and RCMP want everyone to be safe, including ATV owners and those who use parks in the city.

 

Anyone driving an ATV on privately owned land must do so with permission, and seatbelts and helmets must also be worn, as failure to do so will result in a fine.
