What makes them street-legal? Insurance? Registration? Are they equipped with some special equipment?

I also see these so-called street-legal carts on MMP and golf courses.

What’s the catch how do I get this luxury?
Your best bet is to google "florida golf cart laws."

There is a difference between what they "can" do and what they are "allowed" to do.
- They CAN travel on any roadway - it is physically possible.
- They are ALLOWED to travel on most roadways where the speed limit is 35mph or less.

If you saw a golf cart traveling on 441 or 466 then it was very likely breaking the law and should have been stopped and ticketed. My guess is you haven't seen that.

What makes you believe the golf carts you saw were street legal? Given that you don't know what makes a cart street legal I doubt you could recognize the difference. In any case, street legal golf carts are allowed on MMPs and golf courses.

How do you get this luxury? Google can help with that too.
