When you are done snickering - time for a reality check. Where I am from, that just doesn't seem that far fetched. Fact is, the dumb a$$ laws flowing in this part of the country are going to reach you someday. Brand new law in NJ - Kids now have to wear a helmet until they are 17 when bicycling or skateboarding or roller skating!. ROLLER SKATING!
I am very surprised that the 5 point harness has not made it into passenger vehicles yet. Look at the survival statistics with how fast race cars are going when they crash. Not the most comfortable thing in the world, but who cares - look at the lives it would save. Lower the speed limit to from 65 to 40 - that would save lives too. They are out of control to appease the stupid special interest groups. Politicians want to make a resume as a stepping stone to higher political aspirations. The laws are about PR. The sky is the limit.

Of course, people need to supervise their kids. My 8 and 15 year olds ride. But, that should be up to the parents, NOT the government.
Absolutely Right 05pred500.........anybody want more proff just come to Canada !!!!

the reason we don't have 5 point is because we don't have a roll cage in the vehicle, if the car rolls and the hood crushes, in a 3 point harness a person can lay down onto the passenger seat, and avoid being crushed, in a 5 point the person would not be able to move and would have his head snapped off

They started all this because little kids were running over each other on 700cc quads. Before they went crazy we had no laws in NC.

Ok, I admit I didn't read all the replies here, so pardon if I repeat someone.

Do those rules apply even when operating on your own property? Like a 7 year old can't drive a 90cc around your yard? It seems the only way a 15year old could ride anything larger than a 90 (which is way too small, even dangerously so) would be if he was hunting or farming?

I thought maine's new laws were bad, but these are absurd.
