Sound Judgment
Overview
You are not invincible. Knowing that the fi rst „S" in „P.A.S.S." stands
for „Sound Judgment" means you need to use yours.
Environment
The environment controls you, not the other way around. And there's
nothing you can do about it except respect it.
Weather
You need to consider the weather. It is dangerous to ride your ATV
when the weather is bad or potentially bad. Keep abreast with wea-
ther forecasts.
Terrain
Just because you're on familiar terrain doesn't mean you can start
daydreaming. You can't assume that the landscape you're used to
doesn't change. Changes to landscape can happen at nearly any
time. Fences can be constructed and excavations dug in a short peri-
od of time. Weather, climate and development take their toll. The thing
about terrain is that sometimes you don't know it's changed until you
get there. Whether it's familiar or not, check out your surroundings
before and during your ride.
