**** RCMP Media Release
All ATV/OHV riders should do their part to help protect themselves, other people and the environment
We’re encouraging riders to review the Nova Scotia Off-highway Vehicles Act and Regulations. An easy-to-read handbook is available: https://bit.ly/3dPBWQk
Those who violate the Off-highway Vehicles Act could face a penalty of $200-$2,000 for a first offence and have their vehicle seized. If impaired, they can be charged under the Criminal Code.
If those 16 and under are found to be operating OHVs out of compliance with the Off-highway Vehicles Act or the Motor Vehicle Act, parents or guardians are responsible.
