Before hitting the dunes, forests or desert in 2009, ATVers, quad users or off-road motorcyclists age 15 or younger (or an adult who supervises those riders) must now complete an Oregon All-Terrain Vehicle safety education course.

The course requirement is one of several new ATV regulations that were signed into law by Gov. Ted Kulongoski in 2007 in an effort to keep riders safe, especially kids.

We want to know what you think about the new laws - do you think they are a good idea?  Or are you critical of them?
