Sound Judgment
A safe, enjoyable ride is dependent on
many personal choices. An ATV, like
all motorized vehicles, can be danger-
ous to operate if you choose to ignore
safety precautions, take unnecessary
chances, or ride beyond your abilty or
your vehicle’s capability. Don’t allow
the thrill of freedom or adventure to
affect your ability to make good, safe
choices.
Alcohol and Drug
Consumption
(Operator and/or
Passenger)
Alcohol is related to a high percentage
of all hospital admissions due to acci-
dents in the U.S. It’s extremely danger-
ous to drink alcoholic beverages and
ride . . . it’s also very foolish.
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 head-
ache medications. Your physical size
and weight can’t protect you . . . just
one antihistamine 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.
Something 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.
