SPRING BREAK!!!!

Spring Break is here for our schools here in Oklahoma. This gives students and educators a break from their daily routines. This often leads to a family vacation that may include a ski trip, a few days at a warm beach retreat, a camping expedition, or it may be just a week of relaxation. We hope everyone enjoys their time away but also want you to be safe. We often see an increase of calls for service involving young people and the use of ATV. There are laws in place about operating these vehicles on the roadway. These laws are in place to protect not only the driver and passengers, but also the public. Any ATV (Side by side) that is driven on a public roadway must have a licensed driver and the vehicle must meet all the requirements required by state law. We often see youth operating these vehicles with their friends aboard and this often leads to accidents. Many of these ATV are designated for off road use only so please adhere to that. We are asking that parents help us with this issue to protect everyone. We hope that this week is filled with joy and good times for everyone.
