ATV Safety Week (June 1-7): Ride Smart. Ride Safe.

Half of ATV riders killed in OPP-investigated incidents were not wearing a helmet, a trend that hasn’t improved in over a decade.

Nearly half of fatalities also involve alcohol or drugs.

These are preventable tragedies. Before you hit the trails:

• Wear a helmet, every ride, every time
• Never ride impaired
• Control your speed and stay alert

Your choices don’t just impact you, they affect your passengers, your family, and your community.
