ATV SAFETY COURSE
If you are interested in a Certified State ATV safety course please contact Mike Hebert 207-562-7328 or fill out the comment form on the Club Officers page by clicking on the link below this article. Mike would like to know if there is enough interest this year for one or two more classes.
These courses are excellent for all to brush up on skills and especially good for any person just getting into the sport of ATVs. Safety courses are required for all drivers under 16. In the past Mike has held these courses at the Dixfield Sportsmans Club. The club has donated their time and space for these events.
Mike can also give information for those who wish to become Certified as a Safety Instructor.
