A throttle control and safety switch device that serves the dual function of adjusting a throttle of an ATV (all-terrain vehicle) while turning off the engine in the event of failure of a throttle cable or if the throttle cable is stuck, is disclosed. The throttle control and safety switch device includes an operating lever connected to a pivot shaft for pivotal movement about an axis (A-A′). A first carrier connected to the pivot shaft includes a safety switch and a cable attachment portion to engage a throttle actuating cable. The safety switch transmits a cutoff signal to an electronic control unit (ECU) upon actuation by a plunger portion of a second carrier pivotally connected to the pivot shaft via fastener and connected to the first carrier via a dowel and slot arrangement.
