I just got the registration renewel for my steelie and it says that ATV riders under 18 must have a safety certificate to ride on public lands. Then it says for info regarding the California ATV Safety Program or certificate call 1-800-887-2887. I'm going to call them tomorrow and see what it's all about.

Hmmm.... So what does this safety training course entail?

Obviously a written test but how are they if any, going to do a riding test without a dirt lot next to the dmv?

I bet they will get a failing grade for lack of prep and dust control :lmao:
