Human error is the number one cause of crashes, accounting for approximately 94% of all traffic collisions. Within this category, distracted driving is the most widely recognized leading factor, closely followed by speeding and driving under the influence.

Effective June 1, 2026, Wisconsin law mandates that all occupants of a Utility Terrain Vehicle (UTV)—including both operators and passenger.

Full Occupant Requirement: Every person on board must have their seatbelt securely fastened while the UTV is in motion.

No Aftermarket Seating Exceptions: All passengers must ride in designated, factory-installed seating. Aftermarket "bump seats" or riding in the cargo bed remain illegal.

Safety Context: State officials note that roughly 95% of fatal off-road crashes involve occupants who fail to wear a seatbelt, a helmet, or both.

What else is new...

Window Tint Limits: UTVs are now subject to strict window tint restrictions that closely mirror the standards used for standard passenger cars.

Towing Restrictions: Operators are strictly prohibited from towing any object or trailer that is carrying a person on public trails or designated road routes.

Property Damage Penalties: If an operator intentionally causes property damage with an ATV or UTV, they can be penalized up to three times the financial cost required to repair the trail or property, such as tearing up town gravel roads or damaging property off a designated trail.

What is already law, Reminder...

Helmets: Anyone under the age of 18 (whether driving or riding as a passenger) is required by law to wear a DOT-approved helmet.

Safety Certification: Any operator born on or after January 1, 1988, who is at least 12 years old must complete a state-approved safety course and carry their certificate while riding on public lands. You can view upcoming classes or take the course online via the Wisconsin DNR Safety Education Portal.

The school season is winding down but here’s your reminder that students are back in school and buses are back on the roads after the extended weekend.

Please follow posted speed limits in school zones and remember to stop at least 20 feet from buses with their red lights flashing. Drivers going in either direction must stop for school buses. The only exception is if you are traveling on the other side of a divided road that’s separated by a median or other physical barrier.

Check Your Vehicle: Before hitting the road, check your tire pressure, fluids, battery, and lights. You can also verify if your specific vehicle has any open safety recalls at Check To Protect.

Memorial Day weekend is one of the busiest travel periods of the year. To stay safe, always designate a sober driver, buckle up on every trip, and put your phone away to avoid distractions. With heavy traffic and varying weather, defensive driving is essential for a smooth holiday.
