of we these Are tick each of you gets five of hang on to because there very they have to do with the rules of Riding in the there Are three rules you need to Rule one is no bickering in the Rule two is no loud noises in the Rule three is dont interrupt us when were talk ing to each weve written the rules on this Index card and were going to tape it to the Back of the front so you can see them the whole every time you break a you lose a if you you both lose a no matter who started regulating tvs will help save lives Call it midlife crisis if you i got the Bright idea that i should be driving a porsche at a recent social when i Learned that an associates husband wished to part with his dream a i suggested we switch cars for a his response was a Flat he just let anyone drive his he had to be confident that the person knew How to drive a that meant taking when i was i decided a motorcycle would be a you just cant drive a motorcycle special training is i was All ready to until one a Young fellow arrived in the emergency by a Cement mixer truck had collided with him and his and there dwindled my desire for a to journal articles one Doest normally read about the potential hazards of driving a porsche 911 or a motorcycle in medi Cal perhaps its because Treyve been around for so Many Over the last few there have been a number of medical journal articles outlining the hazards of driving Al terrain vehicles for in one study from the childrens Hospital of Eastern Ontario in 148 Young people under the age of 17 were injured Over a two year in the 131 of the patients suffered

while others have elaborate sus Lack of suspension makes the vehicle less turning the vehicles requires some it requires shifting weight from one wheel to the turning on a hard surface is More difficult than on a soft turn ing on Hills is even More everything we do has inherent dangers associated with its health Howard always possible to attribute the problems to operator error As opposed to machinery tvs Are no in a consumer product safety commission re 44 per cent of injured riders had less than a months experience with their one reported in the medical involved a 61yearold Man who was found dead at the Bottom of a the odometer on his machine had Only three Miles registered on alcohol and driving dont driving an at and drinking is no dont do it mandatory training the vehicles Are not built to hold human people do carry passengers and the medical literature has examples of the in juries Treyve Why air the sales of tvs that a political and economic they i would fun to drive and people desire to use should they be banned that not a question for a doctor to doctors can provide the politicians with studies showing the potential hazards and we can make Sugges but we dont
