Personal Choices

A safe, enjoyable ride is dependent on
many personal choices. An ATV, like all
motorized vehicles, can be dangerous to
operate if you choose to ignore safety
precautions, take unnecessary chances, or
ride beyond your ability or your vehicle's
capability. Don't allow the thrill of free-
dom or adventure to affect your ability to
make good, safe choices.
! WARNING
Alcohol and Drug
Consumption (Operator
and/or Passenger)
Alcohol is related to a high percentage of
all hospital admissions due to accidents
in the U.S. It's extremely dangerous to
drink alcoholic beverages and ride... it's
also very foolish.
Substances to avoid when riding:
1. Alcohol
2. Over-the-counter or prescription drugs
3. Illegal/mood altering drugs
Be aware of prescription and over-the-
counter medications. Drowsiness and
impaired judgment can be caused by a
wide variety of medications. The same is
true of allergy, cold, flu, and headache
medications. Your physical size and
weight can't protect you... just one anti-
histamine tablet can affect your judgment.
If your sense of adventure persuades you
to do illegal drugs when you're riding
your ATV, this is a reality check. Some-
thing to think about—there can be legal
consequences that will take away all that
freedom you love. Don't use alcohol or
drugs before or during your ride.
The Number of Drinks that Impair
Mental processes such as restraint,
awareness, concentration, and judg-
ment affected; reaction time slowed;
inability to perform complicated tasks.
Depth perception, glare recovery, eye
movement,
decreased judgment and control.
Coordination deteriorates, loss of crit-
ical judgment, and impaired memory
and comprehension.
