Im only 13, am i too young to drive a 4-wheeler by myself?

Question

i have a 4-wheeler, and there are about 20 trails back behind my grandparents' house. i would like to know if you think i am too young to be driving a 4-wheeler by myself and why i should or shouldn't drive it. thank you.

Answer 1

I don't have a problem with you riding it. I have a problem with you being alone. You should never ride alone. There should always be somebody else there that can get help for you if you get hurt.

Answer 2

no your not to young as long as u know what your doing im 12 and ill be 13 in november and i drive my 4-wheeler all the time out in the woods

Answer 3

The law says your too young but I drove my 4 wheeler all the time by myself when I was 13. If your responsible and can handle it then that would be fine. Just make sure you have like a cell phone with you incase anything happens. Have fun. =]

Answer 4

Answer 5

Answer 6

Do you want the dealer opinion or the Plain Ordinary opinion?

Because, years back, they sold them to any one that walked in the door, and several kids were killed, so the dealers were forced to pull back a little.  

If it were my machine AND you were my child/grandchild, I'd be inclined to let you, and consider that we were lucky enough to have open spaces and clean air for you to enjoy, but I'd worry until you came back home for the first few times, until you proved you had some good sense. I might even ride with you a time or two and let you demonstrate your good sense and ability.

Do you think that will convince Grandma or Grandpa?  

Yes I am aware of the irony involved with wanting clean air and riding an exhaust spewing 4-wheeler.

Answer 7

Answer 9

Your not too young to drive it but they are dangerous and you should have a friend with you in case you need help.

x-motocross racer and many many broken bones

Answer 10

NO WAY, my mate has 2 boys 10 and 5yrs old and they ride all the time (with the correct gear), OK so he supervises the 5yr old but the 10yr old goes off on his own, he's been riding since he could walk so he does know what he's doing and as my mate says "he could come off a push bike round the streets and kill himself, how much cotton wool do you wrap them up in ?"

Answer 11

You are not to young to ride it if you no how to drive the quad and what all the controls do. There are so many kids that are like 6-7 and can ride them easly. As long as it fits your size then its all good!
