ATV Safety Tips
Author: Auger Law | August 24th, 2015
Accidents are just an unfortunate fact of life. Most of us will be involved in at least one at some point. There are a great many of these accidents that are caused by someone being careless or disregarding the law, but there are just as many that could be avoided if people only take the proper precautions before driving. Remembering safety at all times is very important. In fact, it can save lives. Whether one is riding an ATV, driving a car, or on a bicycle, the proper procedures must be followed at all times. Car drivers should always be aware of off-road vehicles or motorcycles. If driving a car, it’s important to slow down when seeing an off-road vehicle out on the road. They may be preparing to turn off the road to follow a trail. Or they maybe be preparing to drive onto the road again. Keep a close on them and slow down until it’s clear what’s about to happen next. ATV drivers should always remember the following:
- Wear a helmet.
- Check your tires regularly.
- Use hand signals on the road.
- Do not ride an overloaded vehicle.
- Always wear protective boots.
- Never drink alcohol while using any vehicle.
