The Legal Bit
On average, two people die each year in ATV accidents. It is estimated that there are over 1,000 serious injuries per year from non-fatal quad bike accidents.
Anyone operating an ATV or quad bike for work purposes must be provided with training in its safe use. Sadly, this isn’t optional; whether you run a large organisation or you’re self-employed, it’s a legal requirement.
When operating an ATV on the public highway, it’s a legal requirement to possess a full UK driving license. It is a legal requirement to wear a suitable helmet when operating a sit-astride ATV for work, either on or off the public highway.
