Sound Judgment

Overview

You are not invincible. Knowing that the

first “S” in “P.A.S.S.” stands for “Sound

Judgment” means you need to use yours.

Do you consider yourself to be pretty

conservative, or are you a heavy risk-

taker? Before continuing with this sec-

tion on sound judgment, check your Risk

Factor by doing this short survey:

1. Do you drive over the speed limit?

friends than you are when alone?

Add the totals from lines 1-10. YOUR

RISK FACTOR IS:

10-15: You’re pretty conservative.

Chances are good that the consistently

safe choices you make will help you

avoid hurting yourself and the people

around you.

16-20: You’re straddling the fence.

Depending on your mood or whom

you’re with, the choices you make may

help you or hurt you.

21-30: You’re taking your chances.

Time

to reconsider a lot of the judgments you

make. You’re destined to put yourself in

dangerous situations and potentially hurt

yourself and the people around you.

The environment you operate an ATV in

is often harsh and sometimes dangerous

if you don’t take proper precautions.

Weather

You need to consider the weather. It is

dangerous to ride your ATV when the

weather is bad or potentially bad. Keep

abreast with weather forecasts.

Terrain

Always pay close attention to the terrain

you’re on even if it is familiar to you.

You can’t assume that the landscape

you’re used to doesn’t change. Changes

to landscape can happen at nearly any

time. Fences can be constructed and

excavations dug in a short period of time.

Weather, climate, and development take

their toll.
