A child rider does not belong on an adult-size machine.

Before kids ride, match the machine to their size, age, training, and ability. The right ride can make all the difference.

Right size. Right ride. RideSafe.

Please join us in sharing this information on the nation's most dangerous weekend of the year for OHV incidents.

Never leave a child alone in a vehicle, even briefly. A parked car can become deadly for children in minutes, and strategies like parking in the shade or cracking a window do not make it safe. Use a visual reminder to ensure you always check the back seat—such as placing your phone there—which not only prompts you to look before leaving the car but also helps reduce distractions while driving.
Before you leave the car, always STOP. LOOK. LOCK.

ATV Ride Safe Oklahoma had a very successful event at the Future Farmers of America Convention this year! Between the virtual reality program, the remote ATV obstacle course, and the number of educators who helped at the various stations, the students were all so engaged.

Families could see and practice safety measures with a variety of experts. Eleven lucky kids took home a bike with a helmet!
