Pretty cool, and pretty easy if you THINK about the answers first.

I have a question in one of the answers it said you need to have you driver license and Insurance for the sled?? You have to have insurance on your sled?

chadlyt · 12-18-2007, 09:18 AM

sled insurance is not required in all states. unless you have a lien out, which would be required by yhe bank, not state.

I assume the test is generic enough where yo uahve to take certain states laws into consideration.

ok thanks

I have insurance on my machines under my home owners. I don't think you have to though. Last year my brothers and I were stopped and they never asked for proof of insurance or anything like that. That was in Michigan I don't know if other states have different laws?

Ok thanks i have never heard that you need to

If you look at the site, there are more state specific 503 tests there.

Thanks.

i did that when i was younger... it was simple.... especially cause they gave us the answers the entire day... because we did some day course.... this was the first year i started sledding...

I don't know how many time a flashlight and batteries helped me, but insurance isn't required here (or a license for that matter), so that question is worthless.

It is my personal beleif that talking is more efficiant than hand signals, though hand signals more practical during operation. But a trip usually includes a lot of stops, and time to talk.

I see hwat the were getting at now, but the question is worded poorly.

Skligmund · 12-18-2007, 06:21 PM

Okay, tell me how Question 1 on the Parts test is not All Of The Above.

I think no insurance on sled would be dumb. It is so cheap and you are covered if you smoke someone with your sled. I have comprehensive. If God decides to burn my sled to the ground, I am covered but if I hit a tree, I am not. Just a piece of mind. It was cheap and it's not like I paid a lot for the sleds so that works in my favor also.

One of the questions in the maintenance one is really stupid...its like what should you do before riding to insure that your sled is safe to ride...one of the options was perform a full check that everything operates properly before riding(i clicked this one). theres also one that says check to see if the motor starts....theres also one you can choose that's B and D(b and d are the ones I am talking about) I was wrong! because aparently checking to see if the motor runs before riding means that your sled is very safe...how dumb

i have a problem with the one that says if you have mirrors you never have to turn around and look behind you!
