Personal Choices

A safe, enjoyable ride is dependent on
many personal choices. An ATV, like all
accessory
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.
Alcohol and Drug
Consumption
Alcohol is related to 30% of all hospital
admissions due to ATV accidents in the
U.S. This isn't an issue of morality. It's
extremely dangerous to drink alcoholic
beverages and ride... it's also very fool-
ish. When the alcohol starts kicking in
and you're tearing along on your ATV,
those odds can catch up to you.
Indicates a potential hazard that could
result in a serious injury or death.
