What can the OFATV do about reckless use of an ATV?
It is true that riding style does play a role in any environmental impact that an ATV may have. It is also true, if unfortunate, that we are all judged by our worst player. It is important to note that there will always be a percentage of the population, in any demographic, that will do whatever they want regardless of the consequence. All we can do is to continue to promote safe, environmentally sound riding, and good trail etiquette. The OFATV has developed some trail etiquette and environmental guidelines, which can be found on this website. The OFATV and member clubs promote these guideline whenever possible. Education and information dissemination is of paramount importance in battling the ‘yahoo’s’ who ride irresponsibly.
