If you live north of 44 you are way overestimating the risk and the risk is pretty low even south of 44.
NO.

According to HB949, no one needs to have a driver's license to drive a golf cart.
- Under 18 must have a valid learner's permit (or license but a permit is sufficient)
- Over 18 must have a valid government-issued photographic ID (a license is not required)

Nowhere does the statute require an adult be present.
