If you are under what age must you stay on your parents' land when operating a snowmobile or OHV?

In North Dakota, the law stipulates that individuals who are under the age of 12 must remain on their parents' land when operating a snowmobile or off-highway vehicle (OHV). This regulation is in place to ensure the safety of younger riders, recognizing that they may not have the maturity or experience needed to operate these vehicles outside of a controlled environment. By allowing operation only on private property, young riders can gain experience and supervision while minimizing risks associated with riding on public lands.

The other age limits, such as 10, 14, and 16 years, do not reflect the specific legal requirement regarding parental supervision for safety and are not applicable in this context. This law emphasizes the importance of parental guidance in fostering safe riding practices for younger individuals.
