In our local paper today - AP story out of DC:

"Three-wheeled all-terrain vehicles would be banned and four-wheelers intended for children wouldn't go faster than 15 MPH, under rules suggested Thursday by the Consumer Product Safety Commission's staff. The recommendations also would require ATV manufacturers to offer free training to families when they buy ATV's.

The commission staff recommended that:

1. For children 6 to 8, ATV's shouldn't go faster than 10 MPH.

2. For children 9 to 11, ATV's shouldn't be able to go faster than 15 MPH and they should have a device - which parents can turn on or off - that would limit their speed to 10 MPH.

3. For those 12 and older, ATV's shouldn't go faster than 30 MPH and should have devices that could limit their speed to 15 MPH.

The staff will recommend that the commission propose the new regulations at a June 15 meeting, and the commission later will vote on whether to do so."

 

Well then what i say to that is that the US needs to ban all beer and alcohol because MANY MANY more people get hurt/killed when they drink alcohol.

 

i agree with roxz because more people get killed drinking and driving then people on atvs/atcs

 

Ban all vehicles make us walk or ride horses again. Then we will all be safe.

I had the cops called on me once for ridding a three wheeled bicycle too fast in a trailerpark.
