ATV/UTV Safety Tips

- Always wear a helmet!
- Always wear protective gear like boots, gloves, long pants, long-sleeve shirts or jacket’s and eye protection
- Avoid riding on pavement or concrete as they are hard to control on these surfaces
- Never drive while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

- Never ride a youth ATV or a single-rider ATV with a passenger
- Always ride the correct size ATV

Side by Side All-Terrain Vehicles Course
Always check the key safety features of your vehicle like tire pressure, brakes, accelerator, oil level, and fuel to avoid any unnecessary delays or incidents on your ride.
Always wear a helmet for greater protection in the event of a rollover or crash.
Be aware of the terrain you are intending to travel in advance to become familiar with potential obstacles or dangers.
Avoid driving on cement or pavement, as the tires on most ATVs and UTVs are designed for dirt and loose surfaces, not hard surfaces.
On inclines and declines, drive in the center of the trail if it’s safe and not on the side, as the sides may have a higher chance of experiencing a rollover.
If you are traveling on an angle, position your body to the opposite side to maintain balance and avoid a rollover. If climbing a steep slope, stand on the foot pegs or trays, to pull your body forward to relieve weight on the rear axle. If descending a steep slope to the opposite, put all your weight on the rear axle, if you need to reduce the speed, use the rear and front brake cautiously (press and release several times).
If you experience stuck or buried tires, adjust your body weight from one side to the other of the ATV until it is released.
Consider taking an online ATV training course or UTV Safety Training course to ensure full knowledge and understanding.
