Street-Legal Golf Carts

As the name implies, golf carts are most commonly used to get around a golf course. However, golf carts have also been adopted for use on educational campuses, retirement communities, and other areas where fast transportation is beneficial but a car would be too much. In fact, under certain circumstances and with the right modifications, you can make your golf cart street-legal. To learn more about street-legal golf carts, read this guide created by the experts at Always Ready Cart Care. 

What Makes a Golf Cart “Street-Legal”?

In order to be street-legal, a golf cart must be able to reach 20 mph or more and have functioning headlights, turn signals, and brake lights. It is also required that the cart have mirrors, seat belts, and a VIN. 

Even if the cart meets these requirements, the operator has to meet certain criteria as well. While in North Carolina you must be at least 16 and have a driver’s license in order to drive a golf cart on the road, other states have differing requirements. Make sure that you know and follow the laws of the state you are in before attempting to drive your golf cart on the road. 

Where To Drive Your Golf Cart

Even a street-legal golf cart cannot be driven on all streets. If the posted speed limit is 35 mph or more, you cannot drive your cart there. While this limits most of your activities to residential areas, your cart is still a convenient way to run errands without the hassle of using a huge car. 

Safety

When driving your street-legal golf cart, always wear your seat belt, along with a helmet and any protective clothing you may need. A golf cart will not offer you the same level of protection as a car, so be aware of your surroundings and prepare to react appropriately to danger.
