Every year there are tens of thousands of serious accidents related to All-Terrain Vehicles. Safety should be of utmost importance to all drivers, but especially to those children under the age of 16. Make sure you understand state by state regulations that apply in terms of children’s operating restrictions.
The following is a list of safety tips from the US Product Safety Commission:
- Children and young people under the age of 16 should not ride adult ATVs.
- All ATV users should take a hands-on safety training course.
- Always wear a helmet and safety gear such as boots and gloves while on an ATV.
- Never drive an ATV on paved roads.
- Never drive while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
- Never drive a youth or single-rider adult ATV with a passenger, and never ride these vehicles as a passenger.
- Some ATVs are designed for two riders. Passengers on tandem ATVs should be at least 12 years old.
The ATV Safety Institute reports that 90% of child injuries on ATVs are caused by improper driver behavior. A child should not operate an all terrain vehicle without the supervision of an adult.
