What we're trying to address is getting people to slow down and not drink when they're riding. Several suggestions to solve the problem of snowmobile accidents and fatalities went beyond regulations and law enforcement. Education convinced one family that nighttime speeds should be reduced. The instructor demonstrated what snowmobilers can see at night. I personally have no problem with the speed limit.
Speed does kill.
Scott Hanson, trail boss for the Bakerville Sno Rovers, agrees with the emergency regulation, but has a different perspective of when it would be best to slow down. They probably could have done something with the speed limit during the day rather than evenings. It's hard to see oncoming traffic. There are mixed opinions about whether the reduced speed will reduce fatalities. We need more education on the snowmobiling industry as a whole.
