Is there a helmet law for ATV's in B.C. or not, i have been told yes and i have been told no.... who knows for sure.??
Even if its not the law, I think that everyone should wear a helmet.
I have not been able to find the Act for after April 8, 2009
I understand and feel the same confusion. I just spoke with our local ICBC and they have not registered and ATV in 17 years. The act is vague as to which off road vehicle applies to what regulation.
Check with ATV BC and Forestry REGS and IT will show that there is a flaw in current legislation. It states that helmets are mandatory on snowmobiles, trikes, & dirt bikes on FS Roads. Legislation was written before boom in Quads but is probably under review.
A buddy was ticketed for no helmet, but when he pleaded not guilty and explained the above reasoning, the charge was with drawn. But be safe, WEAR A HELMET.
