A. In addition to any juvenile culpability which may be imposed due to violations of this chapter, the responsibility for complying with the provisions of this chapter shall rest upon the adult owner or custodian of any OHV or the head of household where any OHV is kept, whether or not ownership of the OHV is claimed by any other person residing in said household. A husband or wife, or two (2) or more adults living together, may jointly or separately be charged as heads of the household where an OHV is kept.
B. If the true owner of an OHV is of such minor age as to prohibit the minor from being required to answer in court, the parent or guardian of such minor may be required to appear and assume full responsibility for the actions or omissions of the minor. The age of the minor is no defense to a violation of the provisions of this chapter, and the parent, guardian, owner/custodian of the OHV or the head of the household of where the OHV is kept may be held responsible for the actions or omissions of a minor's violation of this chapter.
