Excessive Speed - Polaris 340 Touring Owner's Manual

SAFETY

Excessive Speed

High speed driving, especially at night, could result in serious injury or death.
Always reduce speed when driving at night or in inclement weather.
Always observe all laws governing snowmobile operation and speed
limits. Always be alert and pay attention to the trail ahead. Multiplying
speed (MPH) by 1.5 will equal the approximate number of feet per sec-
ond your machine travels. If your speed is 40 MPH, your machine is
traveling about 60 feet per second. If you look back for only two sec-
onds, your machine will travel about 120 feet. If your speed is 60 MPH,
your machine will travel about 180 feet in two seconds.
Traveling at night requires extra caution. Check headlight and taillight
to ensure proper operation, and don't over-drive your headlight beam.
Always be able to bring your machine to a stop in the distance illumi-
nated by the headlight.
