Riding an ATV in Arizona is fun for the whole family. If your kids are going to be riding ATVs in Arizona or you would like a little brushing up on tips and skills for handling your ATV, check out some ATV training courses in Arizona.
You will learn about safety equipment, and the importance of wearing it at all times when operating your ATV, local laws such as state motor vehicle laws apply to ATV riders on many Forest Service roads meaning your ATV must be registered and you must be licensed, other roads and trails are open to unlicensed recreational riders. You will also learn how to find safe places to ride, and environmental concerns. And here's some good news, if you bought your ATV after 1986, you could very well be eligible for free training. In training classes, you will also learn how to pick the proper ATV for both yourself and your children as recommended by the ATV Safety Institute and ATV manufacturers:
*Under 70cc 6 years and older
*70 - 90cc 12 years and older
*Over 90cc 16 years and older
The Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) issues two types of license plates for ATVs an "RV" and an "MC" plate. The RV plate indicates your ATV has been titled in the State of Arizona and is licensed for off road traveling, but you are restricted from traveling on roads or any road where your ATV would need to be considered "street legal".
If you are going to travel on public roads, you must obtain an MC plate that means your vehicle is street legal. Additionally, Arizona law requires either the "RV" or "MC" plate to be securely fastened in a clearly visible position to the rear of your ATV in order to ride your ATV on any state or federally managed lands.
