jhwentworth 300 Report post Posted February 9 1 minute ago, Saluda said: Love covered bridges. They're an icon that says New England, but they have a hard time dealing with modern life and modern vehicles. Most sleds have 10-gallons of gas, rubber track, and lots of flammable plastics, especially the foam seat, that makes a nasty fire. The aluminum melts, and steel parts are what's left in one piece. They burn hot. I wonder what Vermont vehicle liability laws say about this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ICG 5 Report post Posted February 10 Vermont has mandatory liability insurance laws on snowmobiles. The owner/ rider are not exempt from personal liability for their actions. Don't discount product liability There is a silver lining, where there are deep pockets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
