Swrmc Utility Vehicle Safety

1. A jogger is about to cross in front of you without a crosswalk, what do you do?

If he aint' in a crosswalk, he’s road kill

Honk and yell at him not to do it

Use caution, he’s got the right of way

When a jogger is about to cross in front of you without a crosswalk, it is important to use caution because the jogger has the right of way. Even though they are not in a designated crosswalk, pedestrians still have the right of way in most situations. Honking and yelling at the jogger is not a constructive or appropriate response, and assuming that the jogger will become roadkill is a dangerous and incorrect assumption. It is always best to prioritize safety and be cautious when encountering pedestrians on the road.

3. Your 20 year old Gator didn't come with restraints, a roll cage or a windshield, what do you need for base use?

All of it, about a $1500 refit/overhaul

Eye protection & retrofit with a manufacturer approved seatbelt

Nothing, its grandfathered in

The correct answer is "Eye protection & retrofit with a manufacturer approved seatbelt." This is because the question states that the Gator did not come with restraints, a roll cage, or a windshield, indicating that these safety features are necessary for base use. Therefore, to ensure safety, one would need to wear eye protection and retrofit the vehicle with a manufacturer approved seatbelt.

4. You need to haul an object that loaded stands 15' off the deck, which is the most important?

Overhead obstructions (power lines)

How fast you go

Route you take

All the above

All of the options mentioned - overhead obstructions, speed, and route - are important factors when hauling an object that is loaded 15' off the deck. Overhead obstructions such as power lines can pose a safety risk and need to be carefully considered and avoided. The speed at which you go can affect the stability and control of the load, so it is crucial to maintain an appropriate speed. Additionally, the route you take should be planned carefully to ensure that it is suitable for hauling the object safely and efficiently. Therefore, all of the above options are equally important in this scenario.

5. Your Ranger is rated at 50+ mph, but the sign says 30 mph, what is your speed limit?

Remove limiter, it’ll do about 50 mph x 2

As long as I don’t go over 30, I’m good

Posted limit if conditions & load warrant, slower if not

The correct answer suggests that the speed limit should be followed according to the posted limit, taking into consideration the conditions of the road and the load being carried. If the conditions or load make it unsafe to drive at the posted limit, then the driver should go slower. This answer emphasizes the importance of adjusting speed based on the specific circumstances to ensure safety.
