Keeping Safety in Mind on This 4th of July Independence Day

Saturday July 4, 2009
ASI LogoAs we reach the 4th of July Independence Day celebration, it brings summer into full swing. That means now is the time to be diligent about ATV safety and responsibility.

Keeping a few things in mind will help make your ATV trips safer and more fun.

  • Remember to ALWAYS wear a helmet.
  • Ride the appropriate sized ATV
  • Don't ride double
  • Don't ride on pavement
  • Don't ride under the influence
  • Supervise kids under 16
If you're a new rider, or you have kids that ride, some states require safety certification for either the parent, the child or both. The All-Terrain Vehicle Safety Institute (ASI) provides extensive rider-training courses and does a great job of getting kids trained about ATV safety and responsibility.
