5. Government bill to Parliament amending §§ 16 and 64 of the Vehicles Act and other related acts / Utility snowmobiles

6. Off-road vehicles, snowmobiles, motor sleds

7. -

8. The purpose of the bill is to allow snowmobiles larger than those currently permitted to be used on snowmobile routes suited to that purpose and separately indicated as such.

The definition of the snowmobile under the Vehicles Act would be amended to include the utility snowmobile, which comprises certain larger off-road vehicles currently considered motor sleds. It would then be possible under the Act on Off-Road Transport to drive a utility snowmobile on snowmobile routes suited to that purpose. In addition, the bill would clarify the definition of a power-driven vehicle to be consistent with the definition under the Vehicles Act. According to the bill, the utility snowmobile would be included under the class T driving licence. The provisions of the Road Traffic Act regarding the use of an off-road vehicle would be amended by taking the use of utility snowmobiles into consideration.

9. The regulatory classification of snowmobiles was established in the 1970s and has not been reviewed since the introduction of snowmobile route regulations in the 1990s.

There are now off-road vehicles on the market which, in their nature and features, are similar to snowmobiles intended for professional use but do not fit the definition of a snowmobile. These vehicles may therefore not be used on snowmobile routes as referred to in the Road Traffic Act and the Act on Off-Road Transport.
