I did a quick search through this forum thinking that the topic has been discussed already but couldn’t find anything.
An endless topic with different spins to it. People seem to always claim they are right-even when they are wrong. There used to be, likely still is, a monthly presentation by the police dept re: golf cart regulations. That would be a wise place to ask and get proper answers other than OPINIONS.

Passing another golf cart. As I understand it the LEGAL top speed for a golf cart is 20 miles per hour. If, you are passing others there is a good chance YOU are speeding. A street legal golf cart requires PLATES, INSURANCE AND A LICENSED DRIVER.

A typical golf cart is actually a second class vehicle, supposed to yield to cars and even bicycles.
