    Some in ATV Industry Actually Want More Regulations By MIKE MYER It should come as no surprise that some in the all-terrain vehicle industry didn't like Gov. Bob Wise's suggestion that the state Legislature pass an ATV safety bill. And, given the fact that such industry groups are known to lobby against bills they don't like, it was to be expected that a campaign against the measure, now moving smoothly through the Legislature, would be mounted. But fasten your safety belt for this one: Many in the ATV industry don't like the bill because they don't think it's strong enough. That's right, they want more, not less, government regulation of ATVs. I'll wait while you get a glass of water and stop choking in amazement. Here's the association's reasoning: Current law contains stipulations for what types of vehicles can be operated legally on paved roads. Strict enforcement of that law would ban most use of ATVs on highways, according to the WVRVA. The ATV regulation bill, however, provides that ATVs cannot be operated on some roads. WVRVA members also want more strict requirements of other types, such as mandatory use of helmets by ATV riders and a prohibition of youngsters riding ATVs designed for adults. They also want a requirement that ATV riders take safety courses.

    All-Terrain Vehicles: Laws, Regulations and Rules to Ride By
    AEX-597-92
    Since 1982 the United States has reported 2,000 ATV-related deaths. With more than 50 of these fatalities in Ohio , this state ranks twelfth in the nation for ATV accidents. Yearly, an estimated 40,000 emergency-room cases are reported nationwide; 40 percent of these injuries were to children less than 16 years of age. The state has developed strategies and programs to reduce injuries and deaths related to careless, inappropriate and risky ATV use. The goal of the 4-H Community ATV Safety Program is to increase the practice of safe behaviors and attitudes among the youth who operate ATVs. Additional emphasis must be placed on helping adults make informed decisions about whether or not young people in their care should operate an ATV. Safe ATV riding depends on the rider's ability to recognize hazardous riding conditions. It is possible to determine how safe a ride will be by first evaluating the rider's personal abilities, the ATV capabilities, and then the terrain and environmental conditions. For more details on safe riding, see the national 4-H pamphlet Safety Tips for the ATV Rider , available from your county Extension office.

    There are around 70,000 ATVs in New Zealand, mostly used on farms. Apart from road crashes, ATVs are the single most common cause of work-related fatalities. This factsheet explains the registration and licensing requirements for ATVs, and provides some guidelines on using them safely. What is registration?

    The definition of a road for the application of transport laws is very broad. It includes not only streets and highways, but any place the public has access to, including bridges, culverts, beaches, riverbeds, reserve lands, wharfs and road shoulders. An ATV used in any of these places must be properly registered and licensed. page top

    proposed legislation? Special Interest Groups would drastically change the sport. As discussed in Death and Your ATV , several groups have misused statistics about ATV-related deaths to forward their anti-ATV agendas. For instance, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is lobbying State legislatures to pass its All-Terrain Vehicle Regulation Act careless and reckless act? Would winching a 600 pound utility quad over a boulder be reckless or careless? An ordinary ATV rider would not think so, but the AAP would likely view such an activity an an unnecessary endangerment. In its position paper, the American Academy of Pediatrics would eliminate "disruptions in the driving surface such as, bumps and holes," so even having large rocks or boulders in a driving area would be illegal. They would also require that all ATVs be modified to have seat belts and roll bars. The AAP's demands would mutate the sport into a form of go-kart riding. 1990 Honda Pilot

    CPSC Urges Caution for Three- and Four-Wheeled All-Terrain Vehicles
    CPSC Document #540
    The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issues this updated safety alert to warn consumers of the potential operator risks associated with three- and four-wheeled all-terrain vehicles. All-terrain motorized cycles with three or four large, soft tires and are designed for off-road use. Most units are sold for recreational use. In recent years, their popularity and sales have soared.
    CPSC's injury statistics have indicated a dramatic increase in injuries and deaths associated with ATVs during the 1982-85 period and a continued high number of injuries and deaths in 1986. The CPSC estimates that the number of ATV-related injuries treated in hospital emergency rooms rose from 8,600 in 1982 to 86,400 in 1986. As of March 2, 1987, CPSC had documented reports of 696 ATV-related deaths (1982-1987). Of these 696 fatalities, 313 victims (45 percent) were under 16 years of age and 139 victims (20 percent) were under 12 years of age. Children are a particularly vulerable population. Almost half of the injured persons were also under 16 years of age.
    The average risk of injury from ATV riding is high. Over its estimated seven-year life, the average ATV has a one-in-three chance of being involved in an accident resulting in injury. In 1986, about 11 percent of the persons treated in hospital emergency rooms were hospitalized. The majority of accidents occurred when the ATV overturned after hitting a terrain irregularity or obstacle, or while turning or traversing a slope.

      You asked for a summary of Connecticut laws regarding all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). SUMMARY The statutory requirements for the definition of an ATV, registration requirements, operation requirements, municipal regulation, operation on state land designated for their use, and requirements applicable to ATV dealers are provided under separate headings below. DEFINITION REGISTRATION OPERATION The law prohibits someone from operating a snowmobile or ATV (1) at an unreasonable or imprudent rate of speed for existing conditions, (2) in a negligent manner so as to endanger any person or property, or (3) while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or any drug. Violations can result in fines of up to $ 250 per offense (CGS Sec. 14-386a). In practice, the Superior Court judges have established a total amount due for such offenses of $ 188. In addition, the vehicle owner is responsible to the owner of any land where trees, shrubs, crops, fences, or other property has been damaged as a result of the snowmobile or ATV traveling over the land, or where consequential damage has resulted from such travel. Proof of the snowmobile's or ATV's registration number is considered prima facie evidence in any prosecution for damages that the owner was the operator. A snowmobile or ATV cannot be operated: 1. on any public highway, except, if operated by a licensed motor vehicle operator, it may cross a highway if the crossing is made at an approximately 90-degree angle and at a location where no obstruction prevents a quick and safe crossing, it is completely stopped before entering the traveled portion of the highway, and the driver yields the right-of-way to motor vehicles using the highway;

    Trails of the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forests Welcome to the National Forests Off Road Vehicle (ORV) enthusiasts can find plenty of opportunities on Georgia's two National Forests to practice their rigorous sport. The Chattahoochee National Forest located in North Georgia, and the Oconee National Forest located in Central Georgia, are popular with individuals and family groups wanting a scenic and often challenging ride within the National Forest. Off road vehicles are defined as any motorized vehicle which travels off-road for recreational purposes. ORV's include: motorbikes such as minibikes, dirt bikes, enduros and motorcross bikes; four-wheel drive vehicles such as jeeps, land rovers, and pickups; all-terrain vehicles such as the popular three and four-wheelers; dune buggies; and snowmobiles.
    ORV Rules and Regulations The Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forests operate under motor vehicle laws set by the State of Georgia. This means that anyone operating an off road vehicle on a Forest Service road (including dirt/gravel roads) must follow all State vehicle laws and must have a valid driver's license. An exception to this regulation is made on a few Forest Service roads specifically designated by the Forest Supervisor. Off road vehicles must remain on designated roads, trails or in designated areas marked specifically for off road vehicle use. Some trails are restricted for a certain type of use such as only motorbikes or only four-wheel drive vehicles. These restrictions are set for safety reasons and to meet the special needs of each type of vehicle.

    CPSC Monitor
    Consumer Alert's monthly update on the Consumer Product Safety Commission Volume 3, Issue 5 June 25, 1998
    By: Carol Dawson Year 2000 Priorities Get a Hearing Frustrated by CPSC's inability to focus on serious product safety hazards, some years ago Congress directed the agency to set priorities in its budget requests. Until recently, CPSC voted to establish certain Priority Projects, which were product safety issues that must be fully funded, i.e., the data collection, research, and/or technical work required would take precedence over other less significant projects. Congress had directed that these projects relate to specific consumer products. The goal was to complete projects in a more businesslike manner rather than dragging projects on and on over the years. Since Ann Brown took over the office of chairman in 1994, priority setting has largely been ignored. Nevertheless, the Commission still considers what it calls programmatic priorities and conducts a public hearing before the budget process begins. Currently CPSC is preparing its Fiscal Year 2000 budget, and it sought public comment at a hearing on May 21, 1998.

    • Ethics and Tips for Minimum Impact and Common Courtesy
      Using the backcountry for solitude, recreation, and adventure is an Arizona tradition going back hundreds of years. Everyone using the state's public lands should do their part to ensure that these lands remain available for future generations to enjoy. Many areas attract a variety of backcountry users; regardless of what mode of travel you may choose, remember that we all have a responsibility to the environment, to others, and to ourselves. Responsible use of off-highway vehicles, OHV fund assistance to land managers, and respect for nature are the keys to the future of motorized recreation in Arizona. Please do your part and leave the land the same as or in better condition than you found it.
    • Recreate Responsibly
      Hikers, bicyclists, equestrians, and off-highway vehicle recreationists all have certain things in common such as a love of the outdoors and the use of a motor vehicle to get where they are going. Knowing how to Tread Lightly! with your vehicle is the responsibility of all vehicle operators.
    • Wildlife
      When you encounter wildlife in the backcountry, appreciate it, respect, and LEAVE IT ALONE. It will return the favor. Keep your camp clean; bears and other animals are attracted to smelly, messy camps. If you observe a game law violation, OR wildlife harassment contact the Arizona Game and Fish Department at 1-800-352-0700.
