Snowmobiles must obey laws While local snowmobile fans are “thinking snow,” they shouldn’t forget that there are certain rules and regulations that they must obey. Every winter numerous com plaints are registered with the police by landowners because of property damage and trespass violations, and it is up to each individual machine operator to know what he can and can’t do while enjoying his sport. Any person entering land with- outpermission, whether it is a field under cultivation, anorchard, a farm woodlot, a lawn or an enclosed area is committing the offense of trespassing. No notice of trespass es required. Where land is posted, by means of a sign, a trespasser may be arrested and charged. When a snowmobiler is on private land, he must stop and identify himself when asked to do so by the landowner. The owner of a motorized vehicle is responsible for any damages resulting from the operation of that vehicle. As the operator of a snowmobile, obey the rules as they apply and respect the rights of others - and give your sport a good name. WRAP UP CHRISTMAS. EARLY. $100,000 or more. Term 30-59 days.
