But, golf carts are not "street legal" and are not allowed on streets with "real" cars. If you have a cart that is street legal (LSL) it has to have lights, brakes, etc.
All golf carts used in The Villages have head lights. Golf carts do share the roadways with regular vehicles (such as within the residential streets and cart paths along main roads such as Odel Circle). All drivers should use common sense when it is raining. Turn on headlights when it rains while driving a golf cart. I don't know if this is a "law" around here but it certainly is common sense to want to be visible to other vehicles, whether they are golf carts or cars.
