WATCH THE WEATHER AND YOUR SPEED!
Speed kills. Unfortunately, that’s the sad truth.
Excess speeds are one of the contributing factors noted in most of the ATV/UTV fatalities in the state.
When you hit the trails, remember that more speed does not equal more fun. It means more danger. Always follow posted trail signs and speed limits when riding on Wisconsin’s trails.
Also, remember that an ATV/UTV doesn’t handle the same as a vehicle, so watch the weather and be mindful of wet conditions, especially on roadways.
Help keep our trails and routes safe this fall.
Watch your speed, wear your helmet and always operate your machine sober.

RIDE SOBER!
Taking the ATV or UTV out for a fall ride? Have fun and enjoy Wisconsin’s beautiful colors!
Be safe, too.
The easiest and most important thing to remember is to always ride sober and wear your safety equipment.
Alcohol and riding don’t mix.
Crashes can happen quickly, and drinking can reduce your reaction time. Always operate sober, wear your helmet and watch your speed so your riding experience can be an enjoyable one, not a tragedy.
