ROHVA & ATVSI Call for Safe July 4th

Dangerous behavior, clearly discouraged in operator manuals, was a factor in 98 percent of ROV crashes, according to a recent study. Stunting, driving too fast, driving on paved roads, using alcohol or drugs, improper seating of passengers, and refusal to wear helmets and use seat belts were among key reasons for unnecessary injuries. Age was another factor. Some 23 percent of the crashes involved children, and the Recreational Off-Highway Vehicle Association says that no one under 16 or without a driver’s license should drive an ROV. "It’s great that we all have the freedom to explore the country’s trails and dunes behind the wheel of an ROV," said Paul Vitrano, ROHVA executive vice president. "But we call on the thousands of Americans enjoying this emerging pastime to drive responsibly, safely and take the best possible care of their family, friends and the land as well.” Sometimes referred to as side-by-sides or utility terrain vehicles (UTVs), ROVs are motorized off-road vehicles designed to travel on four or more non-highway tires, with a steering wheel, non-straddle seating, seat belts, an occupant-protective structure, and engine displacement up to 1,000cc. Current models are designed with seats for a driver and one or more passengers. ROVs are used for a variety of outdoor recreational activities as well as many work applications.  “The Fourth of July weekend should mark our nation’s founding and be a long weekend for Americans to enjoy themselves, not an anniversary forever remembered for a hospital visit,” said Tim Buche, president of the Specialty Vehicle Institute of America. "Riding ATVs can be just as much fun as anything you’ll do this weekend, as long as you make the right choices and stay safe. We’re also mindful that friends with ATVs might be getting together with friends who have never ridden, but this isn’t the time to jump on and just give it a try. The only first ride anyone should ever take is through the ASI’s ATV RiderCourse and there is no reason not to take it.” Besides practicing safe riding skills on an actual riding range, riders can virtually brush up on ATV safety principles with the ASI's E-Course. There are three age-specific e-learning courses to choose from: adults, teens, and children. The courses include videos and interactive games to make them fun and effective learning experiences for all age groups.
