Don’t get fined for an illegal load! Ensure your ATV or Snowmobile is adequately tied down.
The constabulary in various Canadian regions have been cracking down on recreation vehicle users.
Standard 10-Cargo Securement of the Canadian National Safety Code states:
“...a light vehicle shall be restrained at both the front and rear...using a minimum of 2 tiedowns [2 front and 2 rear].” –Sec. 88(2)
“...a person shall not use a tiedown...unless it is marked by the manufacturer with respect to its working load limit.” –Sec. 11(4)
Remember, the “MAX” rating on a tiedown means nothing to the authorities and should mean nothing to the user.
