ATVs are not legal on the road. Riding through other people's yards, unless they have permission, is trespassing.
A driver's license is required to operate an ATV in California if the rider is over the age of 18. Minors are required to have a safety certificate and be supervised by an adult with a valid driver's license.
In California, there are laws specific to operating an ATV on public lands. Double riding (or 2 people on an ATV) that is not designed for it is against the law, and unsafe. Operators are required to wear a helmet at all times while riding an ATV on public lands.
Since all-terrain and utility terrain vehicles typically aren't street-legal, there are no requirements for insurance. However, many state-owned lands and parks allow them only if riders have ATV liability insurance.
111. (a) "All-terrain vehicle” means a motor vehicle subject to subdivision (a) of Section 38010 that is all of the following: (1) Designed for operation off of the highway by an operator with no more than one passenger. (2) Fifty inches or less in width.
