ATV Safety

Important Safety Information

Ride within Your Limits

Pushing limits is another major cause of ATV crashes. Never ride 
beyond your personal abilities or faster than conditions warrant. 
Remember that alcohol, drugs, fatigue, and inattention can 
significantly reduce your ability to make good judgments and ride 
safely.

Don’t Drink and Ride

Alcohol and riding don’t mix. Even one drink can reduce your ability 
to respond to changing conditions, and your reaction time gets 
worse with every additional drink. So don’t drink and ride, and don’t 
let your friends drink and ride either.

Keep Your Honda in Safe Condition

It’s important to keep your ATV properly maintained and in safe 
riding condition. Having a breakdown can be difficult, especially if 
you are stranded off-road far from your base. To help avoid 
problems, inspect your ATV before every ride and perform all 
recommended maintenance.
