New off-road vehicle law to come into effect on May 19

New rules are coming into effect on May 19 regarding the use of helmets on all off-road vehicles.

As of next Thursday, wearing helmets on all off-road vehicles will be mandatory.

The only exception where helmets will not be required is for hunting and trapping activities, involving frequent stops, where speed is less than 20 km/h.

Seatbelts are also mandatory on off-road vehicles where seatbelts have been installed by the manufacturer.

The use of chains will now be permitted on off-road vehicle tires.
