California Rules for ATV Riders

ATVs fall under the category of Off-Highway Vehicles (OHVs), which also include dirt bikes, snow mobiles, and golf carts among others. California rules for OHV use detail registration process, driving penalties, proper vehicle condition, designated driving areas, and more. Very specific rules apply to operating an all-terrain vehicle.

They include:

To legally operate an off-highway vehicle, operators must be able to reach all controls and must obey all off-highway speed limits. They are subject to a 15 mph speed limit within 50 feet of campsites, animals, or people. Operators do not need to have a driver’s license, but they can face penalties if they are driving one while their license is suspended or revoked.
