1. Wear a helmet and other protective gear. This includes eye protection, long sleeves, long pants, and sturdy shoes.
2. Never ride alone. Always ride with at least one other person.
3. Be aware of your surroundings. Pay attention to the terrain, obstacles, and other riders.
4. Obey the rules of the road. Stop at stop signs and intersections, and yield to pedestrians and other vehicles.
5. Don't ride under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
6. Be careful when crossing water. ATVs can easily overturn in water.
7. Don't ride on paved roads. ATVs are not designed for paved roads and can be dangerous to operate.
8. Take an ATV safety course. This will help you learn how to operate an ATV safely.
9. Inspect your ATV before each use. Make sure that the tires are inflated properly, the brakes are working, and there are no loose parts.
