What should you do if you encounter an obstacle and need to cross it on an ATV?

  1. Brake immediately

  2. Hold the handlebars tightly

  3. Speed up significantly

  4. Inspect the obstacle

The correct answer is: Brake immediately

When encountering an obstacle and needing to cross it on an ATV, braking immediately is not the correct course of action as it can cause the ATV to flip or lose stability. Holding the handlebars tightly is a good practice to maintain control of the ATV while navigating the obstacle. Speeding up significantly is also not a recommended action, as it can lead to losing control or getting ejected from the ATV. Inspecting the obstacle can help you assess the situation and determine the best way to cross it safely. However, the most immediate and crucial step is to hold the handlebars tightly to maintain control, making option A the correct answer.
