-- PORT PERRY STAR -- Thursday, Nov. 14th, 1968 Under Strict New regulations respecting insurance, equipment require- ments, driving rules and regist- ration of motorized snow vehicles, were announced to- day by Hon. Irwin Haskett, Minister of Tfansport for Ont- ario. It is anticipated that there will be about 70,000 of these vehicles in the Prov- ince at the end of this winter season. The new legislation, which became effective on November 1, stipulates that a motorized snow vehicle must not be operated on a highway unless its operator is insured under a motor vehicle liability policy, in accordance with the Insurance Act. The owner is required to produce evidence on request. The opentor is not required to have any type of driver's licence . . , hut no one under, the age of 16 is allowed to drive on a highway. A motorized snow: vehicle must have at least one white or amber light on the front and one red light' on the back, if it is to be operated on a highway at a time when lights are required. Many of the rules of the road. found in the Highway Traffic Act, have been incorp- orated into the new motorized snow vehicle legislation in order to regulate their oper- ation . while travelling on a highway. There also is an offence for operating one of these vehicles without, due care and attention or without reasonable consideration for other persons, applicable both on and off the highway. However, there are some major differences from the rules of the road found in the Highway Traffic Act. For example, - the driver of a motorized snow vehicle about to enter or cross a roadway from: property adjoining the roadway must bring the veh- icle to a complete stop and upon entering the roadway yield the right of way to all oncoming traffic which consti- tutes a hazard. He must also enter or cross the roadway at --an angle of approximately 30 degrees. A stop is also required before crossing a rail- way and the crossing must be made at the same approx- imate angle. _ ' Operation of motorized snow vehicles is prohibited on the "Queen's Highways except where designated by regulation. Schedules describ- ing those parts of the Queen's Highways where 'motorized snow vehicles may bé operated can be obtained at Ontario Department - of Transport offices. To permit local govern- ments to encourage winter sports activities, operation of motorized snow vehicles will be permitted on highways under municipal jurisdiction, except where prohibited by by-law. In order to enforce the regulations, it is necessary to be able to identify each motor- WES Motorized Snow Vehicles Regulations ized snow vehicle. For that reason, each must be registered before it can be operated anywhere in this Province . . . on or off the highway. The registration fee is $4.00 and the permit is valid for the two- year period from November 1, 1968 to October 31, 1970. A green and white licence plate is issued which must be attached to the front of the vehicle. There. are certain except- ions, Manufacturers or dealers do not have to register mach- ines which are kept for sale and not driven on a highway.
