Children that young have absolutely no business operating snowmobiles or ATVs...

Children who grow up on farms in that area learn to operate equipment at younger ages than that. It's not the kids fault they were playing on the road, it's the parents.

I really know nothing about snowmobiles. If you were on country trials, why would you leave them for the road? And if you did, why would you go out into the lane of potentially oncoming traffic? I just can't visualize it because I never did it. Would you just pull out into a road and ride your snowmobile along the highway? How unusual is that? How fast can a snowmobile go? Was this a silly little girl thing or is it something that experienced snowmobilers would try?

I live in a rural area;you don't have to "educate" me on the stupidity that goes on with children and power equipment.

It is a classical logical fallacy to argue that just because something is done, that it ought to be done

I'll say it again; children that young have no business operating power equipment
