ATV Safety week
Ride Safe. Ride Smart
The Saskatchewan All-Terrain Vehicle
Association (SATVA) hopes that all ATVers
make plenty of great memories this year as
they enjoy off-roading on some of the province’s
diverse trails. While seeking out thrills
and adventures, however, SATVA is asking
all ATVers to make safety a priority. During
ATV Safety Week from June 2-9, SATVA is
reminding riders to follow two important
safety rules: Ride Safe. Ride Smart.
“When an ATVer rides safely and uses their
head, they can ensure they get from Point A
to Point B without any incidents,” says John
Meed, General Manager of SATVA. “Off-roading
is one of the greatest summer activities and adopting safe practices will maximize your experience.”
One of the most important safety steps any ATVer can follow to Ride Smart is wearing a helmet that fits
properly. Other equipment necessary for anyone looking to Ride Smart includes eye protection, gloves,
ankle boots, long pants and a long-sleeved shirt. Before even hitting the ATV trail, you must also ensure
you have the knowledge and make the proper preparations. Riders ages 12 to 15, or people who don’t have
a driver’s license, must take an approved safety course or be supervised by someone who’s had a driver’s
license for a year. Of course, all riders can benefit from the training. Prior to ATVing, you should also designate
an emergency contact and pack a cell phone or walkie talkie.
When you Ride Safe, it means that you don’t attempt tricky manoeuvers, you follow the speed limit and
you avoid roads and streets when driving, except to cross the road or go around obstacles. Unless your
ATV is designed for more than one passenger, you shouldn’t double up. Adding a passenger to a quad designed
for one rider can change the dynamics of the machine, especially when climbing or descending hills
or when maneuvering around obstacles. The end result can be a roll over. And of course, safe riding also
means not drinking and then riding. Drinking reduces a rider’s reaction time and impairs their judgement
– not to mention the fact operating an ATV on public or private property while impaired is illegal.
SATVA is also supporting the Bikin’ for Boobies event on June 9 in Saskatoon. The event is a charity bike
ride for breast cancer and includes quads and side by sides. The aim is to show support and raise funds for
the prevention, treatment and cure of this disease.

Overheard at the coffee shop
…booked a plumber last week. Never showed
up. I think plumbers and cable guys must be
required to take the same time management
and scheduling courses.
