Training Courses "Must" For Off-Road Vehicles
The province is reminding ATV, dirt bike and other off-highway vehicles drivers to make sure they take the mandatory safety training course. Natural Resources Minister Charlie Parker says they must also register their vehicles and have liability insurance. All Terrain Vehicle Association of Nova Scotia executive director Barry Barnet, says riders who ignore safety laws give responsible riders a bad name. Off-highway vehicle users also need to remember that laws against drinking and driving apply to them and they must wear helmets while operating their machines. Some vehicle drivers qualify for exemptions from the training. More details are on the Department of Natural Resources website.
