Currently, Brant County does not have a by-law permitting on-road ATV/ORV use and as such, on-road driving of ATVs/ORVs in Brant County is prohibited. Being a responsible rider by following laws and wearing approved helmets will significantly reduce the risk of injuries as well as being charged with offences.
