Riding Your Youth ATV
By james | July 13, 2010
The ATV Safety Institute, a part of the ATV industry, advises these safety precautions for those who ride all-terrain vehicles:
1. Always wear a helmet and other protective gear that is fitted properly.
2. Never ride on public roads; another vehicle could hit you. The vehicles aren’t street legal.
3. Never ride under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.
4. Never carry a passenger on a single-rider vehicle, especially not a small child on the front.
5. Ride an ATV that’s right for your age.
6. Supervise riders younger than 16; ATVs are not toys. They don’t provide healthy exercise and pose great danger.
7. Ride only on designated trails and at a safe speed. Private property owners have a right to forbid access. The ATV and property owners are responsible.
8. Take an ATV Rider-Course; call toll-free at 800-887-2887 or go to www.atvsafety.org to register. An online e-course can be taken at www.atvsafety.org.
