About this Event:
On Sunday, June 25, 2023, Allegan County Sheriff Department, along with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources will host a one day, in person, class on ORV Safety at the Allegan County Snowmobile & ORV Association Clubhouse located at 1697 36th Street Allegan, MI 49010.
The class is free of charge, but you must register for the class ahead of time as space is limited. Please register early to reserve your seat. In this class, you will learn safe and responsible off-road vehicle operation in a classroom setting.
An ORV Safety Certificate is required for all operators under 16 years of age. There is not a minimum age for enrollment, but attendees will need to be able to read, comprehend, and successfully pass a written test to receive a Safety Certificate. Although, not required by Michigan law, adults are allowed to take the course. The class will run from 9am to 4pm with a break for lunch. Please bring your own sack lunch. Class material will be provided at the start of the class. There will be portions of the class that are outside (Weather Permitting). Students will not be riding ORVs.
The main purpose of the ORV safety education course is to educate and develop safe, knowledgeable, and responsible ORV owners and operators. Topics covered include correct riding techniques, protective equipment, understanding terrain and trail operation, laws, and regulations, causes and prevention of crashes, and environmental concerns and reporting responsibility.
Any ORV operator 16 years old and younger riding on public or private land is required to pass an approved ORV safety course. A dedicated core of certified volunteer instructors, sheriff’s deputies, and Michigan conservation officers teach Michigan’s ORV education course.
