Province looks at ATV helmet rules for kids

Province looks at ATV helmet rules for kids. Alberta will consider making helmets mandatory for children riding all-terrain vehicles, Transportation Minister Luke Ouellette said yesterday in the wake of a 12-year-old youth's death. "Tragic accidents like that, my heart really goes out to families that that happens to,"

Ouellette told the legislature. "We are looking at the Traffic Safety Act right now. We are going to consult with Albertans on helmet laws. "We have current legislation in place right now under the traffic act that it is illegal on public land for anyone under the age of 14 years old to operate an all-terrain vehicle without adult supervision, and we do plan on consulting Albertans on that."
