This part surprises me, I would think that one would have to be of legal driving age to operate a motor vehicle on public streets.

I wondered the same thing. What about insurance if they have an accident with a car? I'll have to see what Beaver county does regarding this. I see ATV crossing signs all over out here.

I was skimming over the city code and it mentioned state law concerning the lack of need for insurance. The other thing I discovered is that you are required to have a working head, tail, and stoplight.
