What Are The Snowmobile Laws In Ohio?

Snowmobiling is a favorite winter activity for many people in Ohio. With rural areas and fields, and 146 miles of groomed trails, the state offers much space for this recreational activity.

Anyone who chooses to ride or operate a snowmobile in Ohio is required to wear a helmet.

The roadways are open to snowmobiles only if local authorizes authorize it. This same rule applies to riding along the shoulder of a roadway on a snowmobile.

There is no defined speed limit for snowmobiles.

Failure to Follow Snowmobile Rules & Regulations

If the proper rules and regulations are not followed while operating a snowmobile, a serious accident can occur. The attorneys at our law office have represented clients who were injured in snowmobile accidents, so we know just how serious these APVs can be.

Some of the common injuries associated with snowmobile accidents include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries

  • Death

It is important for snowmobile operators and riders to know the potential danger that these vehicles pose if the proper precautions are not taken.

Snowmobile Negligence

If a driver is negligent while operating their snowmobile, they could potentially cause harm to a passenger, another nearby snowmobiler, or even a bystander. One of the forms of negligence that is common with snowmobile accidents is intoxication. You will find it is the first tip we explain on our page, Don’t End Up in a Snowmobile Accident.
