It's obvious they are already making an abomination of our public education system. I’m with you Steadmans, the government should stay as far away from raising our children as possible.

On one hand there is some precedent based on safety concerning children riding ATV's. On the other hand, isn't it the prerogative of the parents to determine if their child can ride or not?

If you want to have 3 year olds riding around on private property - that is your concern. This law regards the age at which young men and women can operate ATVs on public lands. Also, I appreciate that you always accompany your 3 year old. I would be glad to see adult accompaniment as a requirement for anyone under 16 on public lands. That type of requirement would preclude the need for a strict age requirement. I can just imagine what the highways in Salt Lake City would look like if we let 5 year olds drive on them.

It is the parents responsibility to make sure their kids can ride safe... My kid has been riding since 5 and love ATVs. The Gov. needs to stay out of this.

People govern from the heart sometimes more than their heads. I'm glad to hear your daughter has so much fun riding around with you and those will be memories she will remember her whole life.

That’s ridiculously old. My daughter is 3 and she can drive for miles in my private neighborhood without any problem. This summer she rode 3-4 days a week. I've turned the governor almost all the way down so she doesn't get out of control. I ride in front and act as a blocker if another car or ATV comes down the road and I’ve taught her to stop and move to the side. It's each parent’s responsibility to control their children, not the governments. Wow 8 years old is the youngest you can ride. That’s ridiculously old.
