DRIVER AWARENESS
Slow down when traveling near poles, posts, or other obstacles. Be especially
alert if you're snow biking after dark. Always be on the alert for wire fences.
Single strands are especially dangerous, since there may be a great distance
between posts. Guy wires on utility poles are also difficult to distinguish.
Make sure the way is clear before crossing railroads and other roads and
highways. The noise of your snow bike will drown out the sound of approaching
vehicles. Look ahead, behind, and to both sides before turning or crossing
railroad tracks or highways. Steep embankments may also hide your view.
Always leave yourself a way out.
Variances in snow depth and/or water currents may result in uneven ice
thickness. You may drown if you break through the ice. Never travel on frozen
bodies of water unless you have first verified that the ice is sufficiently thick to
support the weight and moving force of the snow bike, you and your cargo,
together with any other vehicles in your party. Always check with local authorities
and residents to confirm ice conditions and thickness over your entire route.
Operators assume all risk associated with ice conditions on frozen bodies of
water.
When teaching inexperienced operators to ride, set up a predetermined course
for practice. Make sure they know how to drive and control the snow bike before
allowing them to make longer trips. Teach them proper snow bike courtesy, and
enroll them in driver's training and safety courses.
DISABLED OPERATORS
Safe operation of this rider-active vehicle requires good judgement and physical
skills. Operators with cognitive or physical disabilities have an increased risk of
loss of control, which could result in serious injury or death.
