Lesson 1Interaction with pedestrians and forklifts: right-of-way rules, communication, using spotters and audible warningsThis lesson covers safe dealing between UTVs, walkers, and forklifts. It explains path rights, eye meet, hand signs, spotter use, and sound warnings to stop crashes in paths, crossings, and shared work spots.

It covers before-back checks, use of alarms and spotters, parking brake use, gear pick, wheel blocks on slopes, and securing UTV when left alone.

It explains speed pick, steering moves, and load place to lower tip or overturn risk on flat, uneven ground, and slopes.

It stresses smooth control moves, right gear pick, and ways to stop load move or loss.
