ATV SAFETY TIPS

• ATVs are designed for one operator only. Never carry a passenger.
• ATVs are for off-road use only. Never operate an ATV on paved surfaces. Never operate an ATV on public roads.
• Protective clothing is a necessity. Always wear an approved motorcycle helmet, eye protection, boots, gloves, long pants and a long sleeved shirt or jacket.
• Alcohol/drugs do not mix with ATV operation.
• Avoid excessive speeds. Travel at a speed appropriate for the terrain, visibility conditions, and your experience.
• Do not attempt wheelies, jumps, or other stunts. These can have disastrous results.
• Never operate an ATV without proper instruction.
• Always be careful when operating an ATV, especially when approaching hills, turns, and obstacles and when operating on unfamiliar or rough terrain.
• Never lend your ATV to anyone who has not taken a safety training course or has not been driving an ATV long enough to operate it safely.
