Standing in a Moving Vehicle:
Standing in the vehicle when it’s 
moving is a dangerous way to ride. 
During a sudden maneuver or 
collision you could be seriously 
injured or even killed. 
Don’t stand in the vehicle when its 
moving.

WARNING

Hardtop and Rollover Accidents:
Rollover accidents on a hardtop 
vehicle are dangerous. The hardtop is 
not as strong as a regular steel roof. 
Rollover accidents could dislodge or 
crush the hardtop and cause serious 
injuries or even death.
Always drive safely and observe the 
speed limit.
