Do you know the rules of the road or, in this case, off-roads?

The behaviours of some off-road vehicle drivers is causing concern for their safety and those around them.

Special Constable Rob Cleveland shares a recent incident.

“The one incident I had where I spoke to a young fella, there was actually a number of them involved that ranged from 6, 8 and 10 years old. Under the Off Road Vehicle act in the province of Manitoba, they needed to be supervised and within sight of the parent and that did not happen.”

Vehicles that fall under the off-road category include snowmobiles, ATVs, dirt bikes, mini-bikes, four-by-fours, and trail bikes.

Cleveland add these vehicles need to be registered and the operators should always have that registration with them or the vehicles could be impounded.
