Arizona implements a new off-road safety rule requiring online safety course completion for all OHV (off-highway vehicle) registrations as of January 1, 2025. The rule aims to address the increasing number of off-road accidents, attributed partly to the influx of inexperienced drivers since the pandemic. The 10-minute online course covers basic safety practices and is followed by a multiple-choice quiz.
