They can't get points on their drivers license, their insurance rates won't go up, etc. Sort of the same applies to Handicapped Parking Spaces. Those spaces are reserved for cars - registered vehicles that pay taxes. The legally required number of handicap parking spaces in related to the number of registered vehicles (somehow, in a way I don't even pretend to understand). How can unregistered golf carts take up handicap parking spaces and what is the penalty if they do and get a ticket? Just interested because I really do not know the answers.

I think I read someplace that they issue you a temporaery Florida Drivers License so they can process you through the courts. This temporary DR will eventually make it back to your home state. If you are a minor it will go against you when you try to get a regular drivers license in that state.
