Saucon Insurance Agency, serving Bethlehem, PA, offers toy insurance covering all-terrain vehicles of the sort that farmers and ranchers use for their work and some like to use for recreation.<\/p>\n<p>Operating an ATV in safety is a little different from operating an automobile.&nbsp;The National Safety Council lists some rules for using your ATV.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Generally, depending on the engine size, no one below the age of 12 or, for larger ATVs, below the age of 16 should operate an ATV.<\/li>\n<li>ATVs are not made for passengers. Only one person should ride one at a time.<\/li>\n<li>Be sure to wear appropriate gear when operating an ATV, including goggles, helmets, over-the-ankle boots, long-sleeved shirts, and long pants.<\/li>\n<li>Be careful when using attachments such as cargo carriers. They can change the stability of the vehicle.<\/li>\n<li>Do not operate an ATV on a paved road, highways, and streets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Consumer Product Safety Council notes that accidents do happen when using an ATV, some of which have resulted in deaths.&nbsp; In 2012, the most recent year that complete statistics are available, 573 people died while operating an ATV, 58 being children under the age of 16. In 2015 there were 97,200 ATV-related injuries, 28 percent involving children under 16.&nbsp; An ATV can be dangerous if operated recklessly. It weighs up to 600 pounds, is motorized, and can go up to 65 miles an hour.<\/p>\n<p>For all questions concerning ATV safety, toy or other kind of vehicle insurance, feel free to contact the Saucon Insurance Agency serving Bethlehem, PA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some people can get confused when they come across the term &ldquo;toy insurance.&rdquo; In fact, this kind of insurance is not something that covers your child&rsquo;s teddy bear or doll.
