Ethics is what we do when no one is watching. Please follow these do’s and don’ts of ATV operation.
Do’s
1. Always seek landowner permission before operating your ATV.
2. Respect private property you have permission to operate on and operate your ATV.
3. Become a member of your local ATV club. If there is not a club in your area, help in the forming of one.
4. Take an ATV education course and then become a certified instructor so that you can help pass the education along to others.
5. Become involved and help in the creation of trails. Seeking and receiving landowner permission before a trail is developed is a must.
6. Stay on designated trails at all times. Straying from the trail can jeopardize landowner permission for the trail in the future.
7. Avoid operating an ATV when conditions are such that excessive damage will be done which in turn may lead to erosion problems. (Example: mud season Spring and Fall).
Don’ts
