Stay safe on off-highway vehicles
If you’re planning to hit the trails on your off-highway vehicle, make sure you prioritize your safety. Ride to the right and stay on designated trails, wear a helmet, watch your speed, and take a safety certification course. New this year: All occupants of Class 2 ATVs that are manufactured with a seatbelt must wear a seatbelt when they’re on public roadways or rights-of-way.
