Always read, understand and operate vehicles well within the limits set out in the manufacturer's safety instructions. If the vehicle is for use by a minor ensure that they understand, where, when and how to operate the vehicle safely and wisely. If they are too young to be aware and responsible for their own safety then only allow the vehicle to be used under strict and close adult supervision.

In addition, the following issues must be considered when using, and supervising the use of, all vehicles.

• The safety of the location.
• The appropriateness of the surface for the type of vehicle.
• The age, ability and suitability of the user.
• The safety equipment requirements of the user.
• The health of the user.
• The legal status of the vehicle and user.
• Insurance, MOT and other requirements.
• The weather and lighting conditions.

Remember, safety instruction are for the benefit of all vehicle users and guardians and help to ensure vehicle use is safe, fun and incident free.
