Safety is the key to memorable ATV adventures
Those between the ages of 8 and 16 are required to take and pass the safety training course Know Before You Go before they can legally operate an off-highway vehicle.
Drivers 16 years and older must have a valid driver's license or OHV education certificate. Children under 8 cannot operate an OHV on public land.
Those planning to ride are also encouraged to follow these safety rules:
Always wear a safety-rated and properly fitted helmet, goggles, clothing covering arms and legs and over-the-ankle boots.
Check mechanical controls and safety devices on the machine before riding to ensure proper operation.
Do not take alcohol or drugs along for the ride.
Ride the OHV only in areas designated for their use. The best way to protect riding privilege is to stay on the trail.
Do not carry passengers on single-person machines. Also, never ride alone and always let someone know the itinerary.
Carry tools and survival gear in the event of changing weather conditions and mechanical failure.
OHVs should not to be used as a "baby sitter" by parents at any time, especially in campgrounds or neighborhood roads.
To register for training classes or for information on OHV laws and riding areas, contact the OHV Information Center at 801-538-7433 from within Salt Lake City or 800-648-7433 from outside the area.
