Four Wheeler Safety Basics

There are few better ways to enjoy a sunny day outdoors than riding your four wheeler. However, reckless or irresponsible behavior can quickly turn a fun trail ride into a serious accident. That’s why the experts at Stoneham’s Motorsports have created this basic four wheeler safety guide. 

Wear Safety Gear

The most important safety advice to follow when it comes to riding a four wheeler is to always wear appropriate safety gear. This includes a sturdy pair of riding boots, a well-fitting, DOT-certified helmet, eye protection such as goggles, and long-sleeved clothing to protect your skin in case of a crash. You might also want to invest in extra protection like a chest plate or knee pads. 

Obey Rules

Always follow the relevant laws, regulations, and statutes relevant to the area in which you are riding your four wheeler. This includes staying on designated trails at all times and observing the speed limit. Remember that these rules were set down for your safety and the safety of others. 

Stay Sober & Focused

Riding your four wheeler is fun, but it’s not the kind of activity you want to enjoy while intoxicated. Alcohol and recreational drugs affect both your reaction speed and your judgment, a dangerous combination when it comes to riding. Being able to stay focused is very important when it comes to safely operating your four wheeler, so don’t attempt to ride if you’re tired or distracted.
