What is the minimum age required to operate an OHV when supervised by an adult?

The minimum age required to operate an Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) when supervised by an adult is indeed 10 years old. This regulation is in place to ensure that younger riders can safely learn to operate OHVs while under the guidance of an experienced adult. Supervision is critical in this context, as it helps to foster responsible riding habits, instills a respect for safety measures, and provides the opportunity for immediate assistance and instruction.

The age requirement reflects the understanding that younger individuals, particularly those around 10 years old, may have the physical abilities and cognitive maturity needed to handle OHVs effectively when paired with proper oversight. This educational approach aims to prepare them for independent operation as they mature and gain experience.
