Driving with a Passenger

Perform the pre-ride inspection.

Make sure all passengers are at least 12 years of age and tall enough to comfortably and safely sit in a passenger seat with the seat belt secured, put both feet on the floor and grasp the hand hold.

Make sure all passengers are wearing helmets, eye protection, gloves, long-sleeve shirt, long pants and over-the-ankle boots.

Make sure all cab nets or doors (if equipped) are properly secured.

Do not carry more than the recommended number of passengers for your vehicle.

Allow a passenger to ride only in a passenger seat.

Slow down. Always travel at a speed appropriate for your skills, your passengers’ skills, and operating conditions. Avoid unexpected or aggressive maneuvers that could cause discomfort or injury to a passenger.

Vehicle handling may change with a passenger and/or cargo on board. Allow more time and distance for braking.

Always follow all operating guidelines as outlined on safety labels and in this manual.
