What is the minimum age required to operate an OHV with certification?

The minimum age required to operate an Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) with a certification is 10 years old. This requirement is in place to ensure that young operators have reached an appropriate level of maturity and understanding necessary to operate such vehicles safely. Training and certification at this age help equip young riders with essential knowledge about safety protocols, regulations, and the operational skills needed to navigate the specific challenges of OHV use.

By setting the minimum age at 10, the guidelines promote responsible use while also fostering a culture of safety and awareness among young riders. As a result, individuals younger than this age would not have the same access to certification and thereby would be restricted from independently operating OHVs, highlighting the importance of age in conjunction with the appropriate training.
