Some New York Students Riding Snowmobiles to School

Students in Dolgeville, NY are the envy of young snowmobilers everywhere as the local school board has adopted a set of guidelines to allow students to ride snowmobiles to school in the winter.

“We live in the North Country and we have a number of students who ride snowmobiles, so it makes sense to allow students to ride their snowmobiles to school if they follow a pre-determined set of rules,” local principal Timothy Jenny told the Little Falls Times. “Part of the trail system runs right by our school and we have a number of students who already ride their snowmobiles to school, so the prudent thing to do is adopt guidelines for the students to follow.

“If a student provides insurance and registration information and agrees to ride their snowmobile in a safe and respectable manner, then it is no different than driving a car to school,” continued Jenny.
