At last nights meeting there was some discussion on scooter laws. I have researched Delaware laws and found information for off-highway vehicles on public or private property. There is also a lot of information for property damange and such but I know the concern last night was the guidelines for minors:
Operation of OHVs -- Helmets.
A person shall not operate a 2-wheel or 3-wheel OHV unless the operator and all passengers are wearing a protective helmet on their heads, with the chin straps properly fastened, meeting American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z-90.1, 1966-1971 specifications or specifications as may be subsequently revised by the American National Standards Institute.
61 Del. Laws, c. 142, § 6.;
§ 6824. Operation of OHVs -- By minors, incompetent persons or persons under mental or physical disabilities.
(a) A person less than 12 years of age may operate an OHV only if:
(1) The person is under the direct supervision of a person who is at least 18 years of age; or
(2) The person is on land owned by or under the control of the person's parent or legal guardian.
(b) Persons 12 years of age and older may operate an OHV without adult supervision provided such use is in compliance with all other provisions of this chapter.
(c) A parent or legal guardian shall not permit a child under the age of 12 to operate an OHV except under the direct supervision of an adult.
