SOUND JUDGMENT

OVERVIEW

Human beings are not invincible: we need to use sound judgment
to keep ourselves and others safe from harm. Knowing that the first
"S" in "P.A.S.S" stands for "Sound Judgment" means you need to
use yours when you operate your UTV.
Do you consider yourself to be pretty conservative, or are you a
heavy risk-taker? Before continuing with this section of the manual
