Quad bikes night driving

By Keren Simons

Today, quad bikes are enjoyed by many people, they can be found on recreation areas, farms, in the forest, nurseries etc. However, the thrill of riding up and down hills and jumping over ditches not only a kind of stimute but also tragedy. I just heard a sad story that, a 9 years old boy was killed in quad biking accident during the night. I believe this is preventable only if rider could pay more attention. Here are some notes I collect, and I do hope there will be no more such accident.

Note 1: Should never drive into where there’s no light direction. With headlight beam, adequate braking distance will guarantee the riders have enough time to stop the quad bikes before collision. Usually, quad bikes’ light can reach to about 60 meter wide ahead of the bike, and if speed can be kept at 48KM/H, 50 meter braking distance will help riders avoid accidents.

Note 2: Driving at night, DOs:

Make sure the cleanness and good performance of the quad bikes lights.
Drive in a familiar road.
Bring flare or flashlight as emergency signals.
Stop out of the route to avoid injury other drivers.
Wear reflective safety clothing so people can see you.

Driving at night, DON'Ts:

Break away from original route
Drive without accompany

Note 3: Guard against the dark. Slow down the speed of your quad bike in poor lighting. Be more careful in cloudy or raining days. And determine direction before dusk when driving into open fields.
