RAMSOMAIR Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 My daughter got her snowmobile operators card when she turned 13. She has just recently turned 16 but has not started down that road yet of getting her G1. The question I have is now that she is 16 can she legally cross highways etc? She has always done so, but not really legally as per her permit. Also, Timmins has recently allowed use of some streets but must be 16 years of age. Does she qualify with the snow vehicle permit being 16 now but not regular driver's license? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukon Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 She must hold a valid G1, G2 license to legally travel on or cross roadways. The snowmobile operators card is for on trail use only regardless of being 16 0r over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she is 16 and has a snowmobile operators license she can cross or drive along a highway. Driving requirements Driving along highway 9 (1) Subject to subsection (2), no person shall drive a motorized snow vehicle along a highway unless, (a) the person has attained the full age of sixteen years; and (b) the person holds a driver’s licence; or (c) the person holds a motorized snow vehicle operator’s licence; or (d) the person is a resident of any other province, country or state and holds a licence issued by such province, country or state which authorizes the person to drive a motorized snow vehicle. R.S.O. 1990, c. M.44, s. 9 (1). 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my "tractor" drivers licence when I was 14, does that count? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
