FACT #1

PHD researchers do the research and determine that Off-Road vehicles should not be driven on dirt or paved roads: RESEARCH HERE

So all of this is just fact and meant to emphasize that elected officials have a legal 'Duty Of Care" responsibility to the public and should be doing due diligence in making decisions like the Roads Trail Act. Manufacturers of ATVs say "do not use on roadways", doctors and PHD researchers say "do not use on roadways" and data on the deaths of ATV riders on roadways in Nova Scotia is the proof that they are all correct. So why are elected officials promoting the use of ATVs on roadways? Anyone?
