PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 I just did the poll on the main page about the atv safety programs and if they have increased safety. I voted no but I'm sure they haven't hurt safety either. But in my opinion safety is not the responsibility of someone else to impose laws to learn. I believe that it's the responsibilty of parents to teach kids safety and that also involves participation in there lives which is an added bonus. As for older people who take up the sport or hobby depending on how you look at it should be intelligent enough to understand the difference between responsible and stupid.

fixitrod Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 Some parents don't have enough since to teach their kids anything. The safety programs are there to give a good base for kids and adults to get started. I didn't have my first ATV until I was about 23 or 24. Some adults don't know what safety is on an atv and they need a base to grow from also. The more safety alert people are the better all of us are.

iceman Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 I never took a course. I am a very good rider but I was thinking of trying to find an advance class or a racing class because I want to get into that kinda stuff. I was taught by my dads friend and hes been riding since forever... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted August 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 I agree that they aren't bad and can be useful I myself have taken one but I disagree with laws mandating them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
