1. Persons over the age of 18 are allowed to drive an ATV.
2. Riding an ATV while intoxicated is prohibited.
3. When riding an ATV, it is necessary to use protective equipment: helmet; gloves; boots or boots; long sleeve jacket; trousers (it is not recommended to ride ATVs in shorts and/or shirts, T-shirts with short sleeves).
4. Proper landing on the ATV:
– the driver is sitting (not standing and lying or otherwise ...) on the ATV, holding tightly to the steering wheel with both hands, feet on the running boards.
– the passenger is sitting on the ATV, holding tightly to the handles specially designed for this, and not the driver, with his feet on the running boards.
5. Before starting off, make sure that the path is free of obstacles (people, other ATVs, etc.).
6. If the ATV tilts to the side during movement, it is necessary to transfer the weight of the body to the opposite side from the roll in order to balance the moving ATV. It is strictly forbidden to restore the balance of the ATV with the help of the legs, because this can lead to injury.
7. When driving with a passenger, the maneuverability of the ATV decreases, therefore, plan turns and stops in advance.
8. If the ATV is stuck, you must wait for the instructor.
9. If the ATV is defective, stop and wait for the instructor.
10. Memorize the basic hand signals. The signals are given by the driver of the first ATV, then transmitted along the chain:
– left turn: left arm extended to the side,
– right turn: left arm extended to the side, bent at the elbow at an angle of 90 degrees,
– stop, danger: raised straight left arm up. When you see this signal, be sure to slow down and increase your attention.
Always duplicate the signals of the head quad bike.
11. When crossing roads, stop the ATV completely and make sure that the road is clear of vehicles. Then cross the road at right angles to the direction of travel on the intersected road.
10. The driving distance is 40-50 m.
11. When driving, keep a rolling track. You should only move along the prepared track behind the head ATV
12. Keep the speed at which you feel comfortable and safe (no more than 40 km/h). There is no need to catch up with the ATV going fast ahead. Take your time, they'll be waiting for you.
13. If you need to stop (helmet glass is frozen/ fogged up, hands, signs of fatigue, insecurity, etc.), do not wait for the group to stop. Raise your left hand up (the stop signal for the ATVs following you) and stop smoothly. After stopping, call (wait) for the instructor in order to conduct additional instruction, continue traveling as a passenger with an instructor or a more experienced tourist, or find another way out of the situation.
