The Canadian Pediatric Society this week is recommending no one under the age of 16 should be operating an A-T-V.
The New Brunswick All Terrain Vehicle Association maintains anyone under the age of 6 is too young.
Association President Daniel Boucher tells CHSJ News there has been a huge change for the better in the province in the last few years with more of an emphasis on safety training.
He argues more kids get injured playing hockey than they do on A-T-V’s and a child hasn’t died in the province on an A-T-V in the past six years.
Boucher adds the A-T-V Association recommends adults get safety training as well. The Association would also like to see speed limits on trails.
