Over the past few years, we've seen a significant increase in collisions involving motorized devices, especially those involving young riders. Many of these crashes could have been prevented by understanding the laws and making safe choices.
In this video, Deputy Cappetto breaks down:
1. How to determine what class your motorized device falls under.
2. When you must be at least 16 years old to ride.
3. Which devices require a valid driver's license and must follow motorcycle laws.
4. Why helmets aren't optional—they're required.
5. What could happen if you're riding illegally, including having your motorized device impounded.
Whether you're a parent, rider, or considering purchasing one of these devices, take a few minutes to watch this video. Understanding the law isn't just about avoiding a ticket, it's about preventing serious injuries and saving lives.
Educate yourself. Together, we can make our roads safer for everyone.
