New Online e-Course For Recreational
Off-Highway Vehicles
Irvine, CA (9/30/2010)
- The Recreational Off-Highway Vehicle
Association (ROHVA) has a new e-course available
to help users understand safety measures that
should be taken when operating Recreational
Off-Highway Vehicles (ROVs). The e-course is
available at rohva.org
and is free.
Initially published in November 2008, the
ROV Safety Rules urge operators and passengers
to:
Always wear a helmet and
other protective gear, use the seat belts,
and keep all parts of your body inside the
ROV.
Never drive on paved roads
except to cross when done safely and permitted
by law. ROVs are designed to be operated
off-highway.
Drive only in designated
areas, at a safe speed, and use care when
turning and crossing slopes.
Never drive under the influence
of alcohol or other drugs.
Never drive an ROV unless
you're 16 or older or have a driver's license.
ROVs are not toys.
Never carry more passengers
than the ROV is designed for, and never
allow a passenger who is too small to sit
in a passenger seat to ride in the ROV.
Read and follow the operator's
manual and warning labels.
The Recreational Off-Highway
Vehicle Association is a national industry
organization that promotes the safe and responsible
use of ROVs. ROHVA is accredited by the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) to develop
equipment, configuration and performance standards.
Based in Irvine, Calif., the not-for-profit
association is sponsored by Arctic Cat, BRP,
Polaris and Yamaha. For more information visit
