Excessive Speed
WARNING! High speed driving, especially at night, could result in serious injury
or death. Always reduce speed when driving at night or in inclement weather.
Always be alert and pay attention to the trail ahead. If your speed is 40
MPH (16 km/h), your snowmobile is traveling about 60 feet (18 m) per
second. If you look back for only two seconds, your snowmobile will
travel about 120 feet (36 m). If your speed is 60 MPH (96 km/h), your
snowmobile will travel about 180 feet (55 m) in two seconds.
Traveling at night requires extra caution. Check headlight and taillight
to ensure proper operation, and don’t over-drive your headlight beam.
Always be able to bring your snowmobile to a stop in the distance illu-
minated by the headlight.
