SVIA ‘ATV Safety Week’ begins

The ATV Safety Institute (ASI) will be providing free ATV Safety classes during ATV Safety Week, May 15-23, 2021, sponsored by the Specialty Vehicle Institute of America (SVIA), as it partners with more than 40 training facilities across the U.S. to provide free hands-on training for adults and their children.

“Learning how to ride from a licensed instructor is the best way to start riding your ATV,” said Erik Pritchard, president and CEO of the Specialty Vehicle Institute of America in an announcement. “In these free classes, riders will learn about safe operation, protective gear, and ways to make smart choices and reduce risk out on the trail.”

The ATV RiderCourse is free year-round to purchasers of a qualifying ATV from an ATV Safety Institute member company. The ASI also offers a free e-Course, which is available online 24/7. Students learn how to apply the ‘Golden Rules’ of ATV riding in an interactive setting. The e-Course includes videos and pictures to make it an effective learning experience for all ages. After finishing the course, users can take an ATV safety exam and receive a certificate of completion.
