If you knock on someone's door today and asked them if they knew the safety rules for an atv, What do you think their answer would be? You do not hand the keys to your 9 year old child to drive the truck alone, because we have laws against it. Most people have very little knowledge when it comes to atv's because they are advertised as "family fun" for kids of all ages. You don't see the dangers of them until it's too late. It frustrates me that we have professional men and women, parents, grandparents , aunts and uncles that sit on this committee that have to even second guess the importance of rulemaking for atv's. These are children who have lost their lives way too young because someone did not educate us properly about the safety, or lack thereof, for an ATV. I will never see my son Tyler again but I will continue to educate parents until the day I die, about the dangers of atv's harming their children.
