Welcome to FOJ’s “Know Before You Go” UTV/SxS Online Safety Course. The course is free and you will receive a free Jawbone OHV Trail Map upon completion. This safety course is for UTV operators of any age and skill level. Although our focus is on the OHV trails in the Jawbone region in southern California, it is open to UTV operators anywhere.
Taking this course is 100% optional. There is no requirement to take this brief safety course. Some states now require its residents to complete an online course to operate an OHV on public lands in their states. California does not yet have this requirement.
Required or not, we believe that virtually every UTV operator will learn, or re-learn, something from this brief, and free, safety course.
