Default Re: Golf Cart vs. NEV (neighborhood electric vehicle)

A couple issues with the NEV, other than the fact that everyone thinks it means Nevada ~~ They are quasi automobiles and must be licensed and insured as such. However, they are not allowed on streets with speed limit above 35 mph. You cannot drive in on 466, though you can cross such a street. (Yeah, I know, someone is going to say they've seen street legals on 466 or even 27/441, but it's still illegal.)

However, if I lived in Bridgeport at Miona Shores I'd have one simply to avoid having to drive a golf cart all the way thru BonnyBrook to get to LSL or Palmer. But since I don't, I'll stick with a regular golf cart. In lieu of a NEV, I'll take a Yesteryear or StreetRod cart for the trails and a BMW Z or a Mercedes SL for the road. Pending the lottery announcement however, I'll stick with my 3 year old Yamaha cart and 4 year old car.
