§ 7726. Operation in safe manner
(b) Permitting unsafe operation.--No owner or other person having charge or control of a snowmobile or an ATV shall knowingly authorize or permit the operation of the snowmobile or ATV by any person who is incapable to do so by reason of age, physical or mental disability, or who is under the influence of alcohol or any controlled substance.
(2) Ride two snowmobiles or ATV's abreast. Snowmobiles and ATV's shall be operated in single file except when overtaking another vehicle. The driver of any vehicle overtaking another vehicle proceeding in the same direction shall pass at a safe distance to the left thereof, until safely clear of such overtaken vehicle. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit a driver overtaking the passing upon the right of another vehicle which is making or about to make a left turn. The driver of a vehicle shall not drive to the left side of the center of a highway in overtaking or passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction, unless the left side is clearly visible and is free of oncoming traffic for a sufficient distance ahead to permit the overtaking or passing to be made in safety.
