(HWY. 12) (SOUTH OF ROSSLAND) _" 668-2668 ATV could soon disappear It's been a rocky road for three- wheel, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) in Canada. Generally considered the most dangerous type of all-terrain vehicle, three-wheelers could soon disappear .completely from the Canadian market due to a recent U.S. court agreement ending sales in the U.S. Already on the decline in Canada, many distributors have pulied them 'off the market over the last several years due to lack of sales. But the American~decision could put the final nail in the vehicje's coffin. A recent U.S. district court con- sent decree will have Japanese manufacturers Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki and Yamaha, putting a halt to the marketing of three- wheel ATVs. The decree will also involve the repurchase of tens of thousands of them from dealers. According to Transport Canada, the federal government is powerless to stop further sales. However.. action could be taken either on a voluntary withdrawal basis or through legislation giving the government powers of interven- tion. Over the past five years, three- wheelers have been involved in more than 900 fataji.ies in the U.S. and about 7,000 injuries monthly. Sales of three-wheelers began in Canada in 1972. Ten'years later, four-wheel all-terrain vehicles were introduced. Since hitting a sales peak in 1984, demand for the vehicles has dropped. ........ ..
