Rules For
Safe Driving
H
Teach Safety Rules to Children
While children can quickly develop the skill necessary to drive
this vehicle, it is important to remember that their judgment
skills are still very immature. Unsupervised driving by children
can lead to serious injury. Before children use this vehicle, an
adult should carefully evaluate the driving area as well as the
children’s skill level and ability to drive this vehicle safely.
Children are not always able to recognize or anticipate
hazards, even when they have been taught about them.
THERE IS NO ACCEPTABLE SUBSTITUTE FOR DIRECT
ADULT SUPERVISION.
Teach appropriate safety rules to your child before allowing
operation of this vehicle. These rules should also be reviewed
with neighborhood children or other playmates who want to
drive this vehicle.
Riding Rules
Make sure children know and follow these rules for
safe driving:
1. Always sit on the seat.
2. Always wear shoes.
3. Only 1 (one) rider at a time. A child who is not sitting on
the seat or who is standing on the vehicle could fall off,
cause a tip-over or block the driver’s view. A child could
be seriously injured.
4. Do not allow any child to drive the vehicle in the street or
near moving (motorized) vehicles.
5. Do not allow any child to drive near bodies of water (such
as pools or creeks), obstructions (such as furniture, low
tree limbs or play equipment), or drop-offs (such as stairs
or decks).
