Police received reports of drivers weaving in and out of traffic, stunting, speeding on road shoulders and lane markers, even circling or taunting other drivers.
The RNC is highlighting the serious and life-altering impacts of failing to safely operate ATVs and dirt bikes. The reality is, the outcome of dangerously operating any off-road vehicle can be much worse than a ticket. Cst James Cadigan says police are very concerned about dangerous, unsupervised, erratic ATV and dirt bike usage on roadways involving young adults and youth. They have received reports of drivers weaving in and out of traffic, stunting, speeding on road shoulders and lane markers, even circling or taunting other drivers. Operators are failing to stop for police, posing a danger not only to themselves but other road users. The risks associated with unsafe operation of an off-road vehicle is far more than tickets, fines, or criminal charges – it is a matter of life and death. Cadigan says they’re looking for the public’s help in identifying these drivers. As of October 15, 2024, operator safety training will be mandatory for anyone registering an off-road vehicle for the first time or anyone under the age of 16
