MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — The Department of Natural Resources encourages ATV/UTV safety as the holiday weekend approaches.
Choosing to wear appropriate safety gear and operate ATVs/UTVs responsibly can reduce the risk of severe injury or fatal crash.
Vehicle operators can also take an online safety course on how to safely drive and ride. The DNR also recommends driving sober, traveling in familiar areas, following all posted signs and speed regulations, and letting someone not riding with you know where you are going and when you will return.
The DNR says so far this year, 17 people have been killed in ATV/UTV crashes.
