The long seat on the back of a quad bike is not for a passenger. It is to allow drivers to shift their body weight backwards and forwards for different slope conditions
It is illegal to carry a child as a passenger on a quad bike
Basic safety checks should be carried out before the quad bike is used; these include tyre pressure
Children under 13 years old are prohibited from using a quad bike at work. Those over 13 years should only ride one of appropriate size and power. They should always be given formal training on a low powered vehicle
