Trying to outlaw anyone from having any fun basically. No kids under 14 on sleds or bikes unless under direct supervision. Massachusetts go figure.

So borrow your buddies bike, do something stupid and he is responsible for your actions?

Section 26G.

(b) Any owner of a snow vehicle or a recreation vehicle or other person who knowingly permits a person eighteen years of age or older to operate a snow vehicle or a recreation vehicle in violation of this chapter shall be held liable, jointly and severally, with the operator, for any damage or injuries caused by said person’s negligent operation of the vehicle and for any fines, penalties or restitution resulting therefrom.

Am I missing something or does this really prohibit anyone under 14 from operating a dirt bike (recreation vehicle)? I've highlighted the particular sentence:

Section 26D. (a) No person under fourteen years of age shall operate a snow vehicle or recreation vehicle. No person under sixteen and one half years of age shall operate a snow vehicle or a recreation vehicle across a public highway. No person between the age of fourteen years of age and sixteen years of age shall operate a recreation vehicle with an engine capacity greater than 90 cubic centimeters and unless directly supervised by an adult that is eighteen years of age or older . For the purposes of this section, direct supervision shall mean that the supervising adult shall be sufficiently close to an operator at all times that the vehicle is in operation, such that a reasonable person under the totality of the circumstances including, but not limited to, vehicle and ambient noise, the landscape and geography of the location, and the operator’s wearing of protective headgear, would believe that he is maintaining visual contact and verbal communication with the operator.

It appears this was originally a petition presented to the transportation committee, but do you know if this has actually been proposed and/or enacted?

In Massachusetts? Gee, like you can't see another anti-American liberal scumbag idea coming from that little place of communist heaven. So far as I can tell, the only redeeming quality of MA is that it now makes Kalifornia seem a bit less insane.

Assholes. And that goes for anyone that supports crap like this.
