of its new Recreational Off-Highway Vehicle (ROV also know as Side by Sides and
UTVs) E-Course. The course is a

Recreational
Off-highway Vehicles (ROVs) are designed to travel on four or more non-highway
tires, with a steering wheel,
non-straddle
seating, seat belts, occupant-protective structure, and an engine displacement
up to 1,000cc. Sometimes referred
to
as side-by-sides or utility terrain vehicles (UTVs), current ROV models are
designed with seats for a driver and one or more
passengers
and are used for a variety of outdoor recreational purposes as well as many work
applications.
“ROHVA’s
E-Course is an excellent resource for both new and experienced ROV drivers to
learn how to safely operate their
vehicles
while enjoying the freedom of adventure they provide,” said Paul Vitrano,
executive vice president of the
Recreational
Off-Highway Vehicle Association. “The E-Course is intended to improve
awareness about ROVs and inspire a
safety-minded
approach to off-highway recreation.”
The
two-hour on-line safety course helps develop safe driving habits but is not a
“learn to drive” course. Users can save their
progress
and stop at any time to pick up later where they left off. At the end of the
course users have the option to take an
ROV
safety quiz to test their knowledge. To register for free, drivers can visit
cbt.rohva.org.
