"Snowmobile
Safety and You" is provided by the Vermont State Police and the Vermont Association of Snow Travelers, Inc. to help students
who must take a snowmobile safety education course to be certified to operate a snowmobile. It also should help other
snowmobilers to learn safe operating practices that can be used in
Vermont and throughout the United States and Canada.
NOTICE: Anyone born after 1983 is required by Vermont law to have completed an approved snow mobile safety course. Effective Immediately: Individuals 12 years of age or older, must have taken a certified safety course and carry that certification with them to be presented upon demand of a law enforcement officer. Individuals 12 years of age, but not yet sixteen years of age, must be directly supervised by an adult, at least 18 years of age, while traveling across or on a plowed public highway. Children eight years of age, but not yet 12, may operate a snowmobile on the VAST trail system without taking the safety course as long as they are under the direct supervision of a parent or legal guardian who accepts full liability for the child's actions and the child is not allowed to operate on or across a plowed public right-of-way. Children under the age of eight may not operate a snowmobile on the VAST trail system at any time. |
