The Canada Safety Council maintains to ban the use of ATVs by children under age 16 would be a mistake.
Enforcement would be difficult (if not impossible) on private property and in northern and rural communities where ATV use is common, and not just for recreation.
Child-size machines with reduced speed capability and a device to stop the vehicle remotely could be removed from sale.
Children who ride in spite of a ban will develop a disrespect for the law — an unacceptable attitude to take into adulthood.
