All Terrain Vehicles
All terrain vehicle (ATV), as defined by American National Standard Institute’s 2001 revised ATV standard, is a motorised off-highway vehicle designed to travel on four low-pressure tires. This type of specialised vehicle have a seat fashioned in a way that is has to be straddled by the operator and handle bars for steering control. ATVs are classified into two types: Type I ATV and Type II ATV. The former is intended for use by a single person, while the latter is equipped with a seat behind the operator’s seat to accommodate two people - the operator and a passenger. In some states in Australia, the U.S. and Canada, the use of ATVs is prohibited. This is because of the public’s negative perception about ATV’s, which were associated with trespassing, noise pollution, land defacement and other illegal activities. On the other hand, despite this negative attitude toward ATVs, the number of people buying ATVs is on the rise. Moreover, the vehicle is also gaining popularity in motor sports, and many vehicle manufacturers are releasing ATV sports models.
