It is in the best interest of anyone operating a golf cart or even a bicycle to know the applicable traffic laws. When a person is operating their cart or a bicycle on a public street, they are required to obey the law. Ignorance of the traffic laws is no excuse and can be detrimental to your physical health and detrimental to the financial health of your wallet.

Pretty sure the law requires you to wear your seatbelts. Most golf carts in the Villages don't have seatbelts. The driving manual applies to people who drive cars. There is also a motorcycle driving manual that applies to people who drive motorcycles. There's yet another one for tractor-trailer drivers. There is no mandatory golf car driving manual. The rules for golf carts are different, because they have different minimum standards, and different driving conditions. Cars aren't supposed to drive on the shoulder of a road. Golf cars are required to drive on the shoulder of the road.
Never use a manual for one thing, as an instruction book for another.
