Parents:
Many states have implemented new motor
vehicle licensing requirements for young driv-
ers. These requirements are in response to
the disproportionately high rate of crashes in-
volving youthful drivers. As with automobiles,
to promote safe driving behaviors, you should
supervise younger drivers and consider set-
ting rules and putting limits on how, when,
and where the Viking can be used.
Passenger requirements
This vehicle is designed for the operator and
two passengers. Allowing passengers to ride
improperly can lead to serious injury or death.
As the operator, you are responsible for your
