Driving Tips > The 60-Second Driver
Snowmobiles
When the ground turns white, our encounters with off-road vehicles like snowmobiles increases. Accidents between cars and snowmobiles usually result in serious injury or worse.
Drivers can help avoid these collisions by being aware of snowmobiles in ditches along the highway and at trail crossings. If you see a snowmobile about to cross, slow down.
Snowmobilers make up the other half of the safety equation by:
- Using an approved helmet that is properly fastened
- When crossing a highway, stop and carefully cross one sled at a time at a right angle
- Always travel at a safe speed for the conditions and never mix alcohol with off-road vehicles
If you're caught driving an off-road vehicle while impaired, the penalties apply to your regular driver’s licence, and they are severe.
Insurance is not required in all cases but is strongly recommended. Check with your broker to see if you are covered for personal injury or property damage because you may be exposed to lawsuits.
