Why do people insist that the government knows whats right for my kids. guess all you that think that need to cut an aditional 25% outta your salary and pay for everyones kids. we may as well send all kids off to child rearing camps at birth. as you all think parents are completly incapable of making decisions for their children. so why allow them to have them? you want to take away all the tools parents have and tell them what to do.. You all know better than someone who lives with their child.
What a wonderfull world we would live in if everychild was the same and raised the same way.. WOO WHOO can you sign me up for boring idealogical world? This sounds so great.. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

The government is not the one trying pass an ATV law, it is the groups and some people who do not want young children to ride Atvs who are pressuring the government to pass a law.

Again all that WhoDatInDaMud is trying to do is make a person think twice before they take that step and put their young child on a quad. WhoDatInDaMud is also entitled to his opinion and does not need to keep it to himself. He has every right just like everyone else here in the forums to speak. And I bet if he can get just one person to think twice about the purchase of a quad, and maybe get them to hold off a year or two then he has done his job. Now don't get me wrong I might not agree with everything that people are trying to do, but I do agree that a 4 year old does not have the ability to safely operate a quad. They just do not possess the skills or attention span.

Here is the deal, as a tax payer, I will end up having to pay your kids medical cost for his injuries he or she sustained while riding a quad at age 3 or 4 because you have no insurance to cover his medical costs.

I never really know quite what to say in these threads. I didnt let my boys ride a mini bike until they could ride a bicycle with out training wheels. My oldest son asked for his training wheels to be taken off his bicycle at 3yrs 8mos. I was amazed. His little bro didnt want his training wheels taken off until he was 4 1/2. They were conmpletely different then and are still different riders today. Now having said that, I still wouldnt reccomend that anyone do it like i did. I just dont feel its my place to put some ones elses kids in danger.

I think people setting age limits is bogus. Every kid is different, and they all mature at different paces. I know some kids that I would trust on a full size quad at a very young age, and I know some 16ish year olds that I would feel iffy about putting them on a smaller machine. I have a daughter due here in about a month, and if she is 3 years old and I know I can trust her judgement by having respect for a machine, I'll stick her on a mini bike that I can restrict. And if she is the type that just goes gun-ho and is off-the wall, then she might be getting a restricted mini at 6, 7, maybe later depending on what I think is best.
Im not necessarily recomending this, or fully agreeing with it, but when I was 5 years old I was stuck on a 200cc 3-wheeler, and at 8 or 9 I rode a ATC250R frequently. I don't think this was great parenting, but the point is that I was the type of kid the had a fear of the machines and respected it's power, so I rode them very cautiously. Now Im not going to go sticking my kids on a 250R at a young age, but I will do what "I" see fit and no one is going to tell me other wise because I will know my children better than anyone else. Half the country doesn't even know what is good for themselves, they shouldn't have the right to tell other people what to do.
Another question about this is, how come you have all this debate over the age limit of children on ATV's, but yet there is 14 year olds jumping tripples on a 125 class MX bike? And you have 12 year olds doing it on 85cc MX bikes![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Why is it that ATVer's seem to get all of the whiny people with the "under 16" crap?
