§ 2410. Operation by minors. 1. Except as provided by subdivision two
of this section, no person under the age of sixteen years shall operate
an ATV except upon lands owned or leased by his or her parent or
guardian, unless he or she is under general supervision of a person
eighteen years of age or over. "Leased lands" as herein used shall not
include lands leased by an organization of which said operator or his or
her parent or guardian is a member.

2. A person fourteen years of age but less than sixteen years of age
who has received safety training as prescribed by the commissioner and
has received the appropriate ATV safety certificate issued by the
commissioner may operate an ATV in the same manner as a person who is
sixteen years of age or older.

3. The failure of a person to exhibit an ATV safety certificate upon
demand to any magistrate or any other officer having authority to
enforce the provisions of this article shall not be an offense, but
shall be presumptive evidence that such person is not the holder of such
certificate.

4. No parent or guardian shall authorize or knowingly permit his child
or ward, if under sixteen years of age, to operate an ATV in violation
of any provision of this article, any rules or regulations promulgated
thereunder, or the provisions of any local law or ordinance.

5. No owner or other person in possession of any ATV shall authorize
or knowingly permit any person under sixteen years of age to operate
such an ATV in violation of any provision of this article, any rules or
regulations promulgated thereunder, or the provisions of any local law
or ordinance.
