just took the oregon online safety/education course so i could be legal riding my atc70 around dunefest! we started chatting about it in the shout box so i started this thread. oregon has a safety education card that is mandatory for everyone 50 and younger riding a bike trike or quad. sxs 4x4s and sand rails fall under other rules mainly tied to your drivers license and driving laws. the class is online and took about 1 1/2 hour to finish and maybe a 1/2 hour to set up my account. the course was very repetitive but i guess thats how kids learn was hard for me to stay focused. something like 11 chapters with short quizs after then a 48 question final test with many of the same questions. it is geared more toward kids and the people that supervise them. everyone under 16 must be supervised by a adult 18 years old or older. the supervisor must also have a safety card. and a parent of a unsupervised child could be charged with child endangerment. the way it is written they say the supervisor should be able to immediately render advice and aid. seems like a over the top law and 16 is kind of old for needing constant supervising. BUT i would love to see a lot of the absent parents at dumont be required to take the safety/education course pay attention to what there kids are doing and to have consequences. a lot of laws about age and fitment. for being able to safely dive a SxSs right now you basically need a valid drivers license. the one strange law is under18 you must wear a helmet over its not required.
