roadway of as close to 90° as is reasonably possible, and then
only after stopping and yielding the right-of-way to all vehicles
approaching on the highway.

No person under the age of 12 years shall drive a snowmobile across

He is accompanied by a person over the age of 18 years; or
(3)
He is accompanied by a person over the age of 14 years who holds

A.
Any person violating §§ 378-1 through 378-3 may be required to forfeit not less than $25 nor more than $200 for the first offense and not less than $50 nor more than $200 for the second or subsequent conviction. In addition, the court may order that the snowmobile operated in violation of said section be impounded for a period of not less than 15 nor more than 60 days, beginning at a date specified by the court. Impoundment may be effected by taking physical possession of the machine or by causing the same to be immobilized and sealed by a law enforcement officer for the specified period. Operating the impounded machine during the specified period contrary to the court's order shall constitute a punishable, separate, subsequent violation of §§ 378-1 through 378-3.[1]

In default of the immediate payment of any forfeiture and the costs
of prosecution, any person convicted of a violation of this chapter
