The Canadian Paediatric Society says kids and adolescents make up about a third of off-road vehicle deaths.

It says federal, provincial and territorial governments should regulate the use of the vehicles the same way they do cars.

The society says kids should be at least 16 years old to drive the vehicles and 12 to be a passenger.

They should also make wearing government-certified helmets mandatory, it says.
