- Handicap placards are not assigned to a vehicle, they are assigned to an individual
- The application for a handicap placard states: "The permit must be hung on the rear-viewmirror of
any vehicle used to transport the disabled person(s) while parked in a designated disabled person parking space." (emphasis added)
- Chapter 320 of the Florida statutes includes the section on handicap placards and their use in motor vehicles
- Chapter 320 of the Florida statute defines a golf cart as a motor vehicle
Put it all together and a golf cart transporting a disabled person is a motor vehicle entitled to utilize a handicap placard when parked in a handicap parking spot.
Thinking about it another way, does a person's disability suddenly go away when they are in a golf cart? If not then the need for the parking and the placard exists whether the vehicle is a Ford pickup, Mini Cooper, or golf cart.
