The mission behind the implementation of Chandler's Law is to decrease the rapidly rising number of ATV-related injuries and deaths in South Carolina. Medical and safety groups in our state are alarmed that most of the injuries and accidents involving children are occurring with drivers and riders who are under the age of 16. However, since 44 other states have enacted ATV riding laws for children, many have seen dramatic reductions in the number of ATV-related deaths and accidents.
