Before operating an ATV with handlebars and a straddling seat, what course must be completed?

The requirement to complete the Specialty Vehicle Institute of America/Recreational Off-Highway Association (SVIA/ROHVA) course before operating an ATV with handlebars and a straddling seat is based on the emphasis placed on safety, proper operation, and risk management associated with these vehicles. This course is specifically designed to provide individuals with the necessary knowledge and skills to operate ATVs safely, addressing important topics such as safety precautions, vehicle dynamics, and safe riding techniques.

By completing the SVIA/ROHVA course, operators are better prepared to handle the unique challenges posed by ATVs, thereby reducing the likelihood of accidents and injuries. This course also aligns with regulatory guidelines to ensure that operators follow best practices in their ATV operations. The specialized focus of the SVIA/ROHVA course ensures comprehensive training that is particularly relevant for individuals who will be actively using ATVs.
