! WARNING

Indicates a potential hazard that could
result in a serious injury or death.

Sound Judgment

Your Physical

Condition

Being physically exhausted is like

being drunk. Try to do something that’s

detail-oriented when you’re really

tired, and you’ll feel totally uncoordi-

nated.

Reckless Riding

If you are involved in an accident when

you’re speeding, you have a 25%

chance of landing yourself in the hospi-

tal. The faster you go, the more likely

you are to destroy your head and inter-

nal organs, and skip the wheelies,

jumps, stunts, and any other showboat-

ing.

Laws and Regulations

Any police officer will tell you that

ignorance of the law is no defense.

Your best defense is to check out your

local, state, or provincial laws before

riding. It’ll also make sure that you can

continue to ride in your favorite areas.

The quickest way to have a land area

closed is by riding over the regulations.

Group Behavior

People always do crazier and riskier

things in a group than they would con-

sider doing by themselves. When

you’re riding with others and things

start to get out of hand, decide whether

you’re willing to be injured or see your

friends injured.

SIPDE

By themselves, none of these safe

behaviors and sound judgments will go

very far. But when you put them all

together . . . when you’re paying atten-

tion to how you feel, when you’re

monitoring the movements of your

ATV, and when you’re constantly eval-

uating your environment, then you’re

practicing SIPDE. SIPDE is an acro-

nym that stands for:

THE EFFECTS OF

ALCOHOL*

The Number of Drinks that Impair

Mental and Physical Abilities

1-2 DRINKS

Mental processes such as restraint,
awareness, concentration, and judg-
ment affected; reaction time slowed;
inability to perform complicated tasks.

3-4 DRINKS

Depth perception, glare recovery, eye
movement, and focus affected;
decreased judgment and control.

5+ DRINKS

Coordination deteriorates, loss of criti-
cal judgment, and impaired memory
and comprehension.

*According to the ATV Safety Institute.
