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.

ALL vehicles, cars, trucks, street sweepers, golf carts, motorcycles, tricycles, bicycles, and whatever operating on the roadways have to follow the same basic traffic laws. Stopping at stop signs, not passing in prohibited area, observing the speed limit, signaling turn intent, required vehicle lighting, proper lane usage, etc. I'd like to see someone argue with a cop that running a redlight with your golf cart is legal because there isn't a golf cart manual.
By the way, our cart has seat belts and we use them.
