Police say that in January four charges were laid in Scugog Township under this Act: two for not obeying stop signs, one for not having a proper permit, and one for failing to turn to the right of - centre. On roads and highways, a snowmobile is considered a motor vehicle, and the operator must obey all traffic regulations. In BD) DURHAM addition, an operator can be charged for not having a properly approved helmet, a permit, or for not displaying a registration number. That number must be kept clear of dirt and slush so that it remains visible. Failure to do so can result in a charge under the Act. Drinking and snowmo- biling do not mix, and an operator can be charged with a drinking offense on both public and private property, and that goes for Lake Scugog as well. Speed limits are also set under the Act, and the maximum for a snowmobile in a 30 mph. zone is 15 mph. If the posted limit is greater REGIONAL than 30 mph, the maximum for snowmobiles js 30 mph. In addition, the operator of a snowmobile can be charged with such offenses as careless, dangerous and impaired driving. Any accident involving a snowmobile where damage exceeds $100 must be repor- ted to police, as must any accident where personal injury results. Police urge all snowmobile operators to make them- selves familiar with the regulations of the Motorized Snow Vehicle Act, and generally use a little common sense when enjoy- ing this popular form of winter recreation.
