Sound Judgment
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 judg-
ment.
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.
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 uncoordinated.
Reckless Riding
If you are involved in an accident when
you’re speeding, you have a 25% chance
of landing yourself in the hospital. The
faster you go, the more likely you are to
destroy your head and internal organs,
and skip the wheelies, jumps, stunts, and
any other showboating.
Laws and Regulations
Any police officer will tell you that igno-
rance 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.
Substances to avoid when riding:
1. Alcohol
2. Over-the-counter or prescription drugs
3. Illegal/mood altering drugs
