ATV Safety Class was a big hit! This was sent from our Instructor, Frank Roy. "
The East Branch Sno-Rovers and ATV Club hosted an ATV Safety Course on Saturday, April 18, at the clubhouse in Medway.
The curriculum focused heavily on safety, including the use of protective equipment such as helmets, pre-ride inspections, and the importance of the owner’s manual. Students also received instruction on navigation, first aid, trail etiquette, environmental protection, and survival. As part of the survival training, each student was provided with the book, “YOU ALONE in the MAINE WOODS.”
The course further covered the benefits of club membership and a comprehensive review of ATV laws. Guest speaker Officer Gary Lakeman from the East Millinocket Police Department discussed legal requirements, noting that most accidents result from speed, alcohol, and inexperience. He also reminded participants that the town speed limit is 25 mph unless otherwise posted.
To demonstrate their proficiency, all students were required to complete a fifty-question exam. Every participant passed with a score of 96 or higher.
We would like to thank the club’s kitchen staff for providing lunch, as well as the members who assisted with instruction and cleanup. Attached is a photograph of the students with their new ATV Safety cards."
