Be alert for off-road hazards
The terrain can present a variety of challenges when you ride off-road. Continually
“read” the terrain for unexpected turns, drop-offs, rocks, ruts, and other hazards.
Always keep your speed low enough to allow time to see and react to hazards.
Ride within your limits
Pushing limits is another major cause of UTV accidents. 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.
