RE: Liability Insurance for ATVs in MD
I goofed, this bill is still in committee.
Quiksilver- I understand what your saying but its wrong for government to mandate that I buy a product from private industry. I'm not required by law to buy health insurance or to purchase liability insurance on my home or any other item which is used strictly on private property. This is nothing more than a state sponsored windfall for insurance companies which will set a bad presidence. What next, gun owners being required to be insured to cover those injuries as well. Now I would accept having ATV's insured if they were operated on state grounds.
If accident rates are causing the Insurance Co. problems maybe they need to work with ATV manufactures more to better educate the public on safety.
Ductman- Having insurance will not keep someone from trespassing on your property. In this state its against the law to operate an ATV on the road.
