Kids like to live on the edge, but does that mean their parents should let them? A recent report examined the number of young children operating all-terrain vehicles that can get up to speeds that rival a car. Kindergartners are popping on their helmets and burning rubber, but it isn't without incident. Approximately 150 children are killed and another 4,000 are injured annually from riding ATVs. Do you think a law should be enacted to protect these kids?
There needs to be laws, but there also needs to be parenting involved with motorized vehicles. Our family ATV's and they have smaller machines for the age groups. I do not think kids under the age of 10 shoul be driving alone and kids under the age of 16 without supervision. ATV'ing can be a fun family activity as long as people are being responsible!
