SANTA FE, N.M. — New Mexico's ATV enthusiasts will have more trails to
ride under a law taking effect Sunday.
At the same time, younger ATV riders will be safer, says the lawmaker who
sponsored the measure in the state Senate.
Riders under 18 will be required to wear eye goggles and helmets and take a
safety training course. They also will be prohibited from having passengers on
their all terrain vehicles, which are popular in New Mexico for hunters and
outdoor recreationists. "Once this program is up and running, it will pay
off big time by saving young lives," said Sen. Dede Feldman, an
Albuquerque Democrat who sponsored the bill this year with Rep. Bobby
Gonzales, a Democrat from Taos.
