Agree, some folks here have lost ability to drive cars, leaving them with golf carts to keep their independence.
Anytime the govt gets involved, we seem to lose something.

I feel it is at best unnecessary and at worst another step down an undesirable path.
If the requirement for a learner's permit is needed to ensure those on the streets understand basic rules of the road then shouldn't we require learner's permits for bicyclists as well? Perhaps even more so since mistakes are more deadly on a bicycle than on a golf cart?
The more we treat golf carts like cars, the easier it will be to eliminate any differences. Do we really want to require insurance for golf carts? Do we really want to require safety glass, seatbelts, self-canceling turn signals, and airbags on golf carts? Do we really want to require Florida vehicle registration for golf carts?
Then again, this law is no surprise in the "free state" of Florida.
