terrain vehicle (UTV) on a part of the ATV or UTV that is not designed for use by
passengers. A person is also prohibited from operating an ATV or UTV with such a
passenger. Under current law, no person may drive any vehicle, including an ATV,
on a highway with another person on any portion of the vehicle that is not designed
