ATV & Dirtbike Petition

The benefits of allowing children and young adults to enjoy THEIR choice of sport, far outweighs the possibility of injury. From Children to adult, injuries are inherent in any, and all, forms of sports and/or recreation. Although, always very sad, accidents DO happen. The number of young children, riding an appropriate size ATV or dirtbike, under control and supervision, are far beyond the number of injuries, as in hocky, baseball, rugby, soccer, etc.

IF THEIR RECREATION IS BANNED, WHAT OTHER FORMS OF RECREATION IS NEXT?

    • my son will drive atvs no matter what. its not right to take away something that some kids dont know how to drive. its like banning cars cause some people dont know how to drive them. we need to keep kids out of trouble, but there is nothing for them to do. my son loves driving his 4 wheeler, it keeps him out of trouble.

    • I have to agree with Joey. How many people die in car crashes in a year? And the funny thing is those drivers are NOT kids.

    • We live in Hamilton were some 300 elderly people signing a petition was all they needed to make it hard to ride in our area, the complaint they had may have been founded in that area but because of that petition the hydro company and the Hamilton police now try to ticket , impound and scare our little guys. So now mine know if the police are in their car and signal you to come to them turn around and scoot home.
