UTV stands for Utility Terrain Vehicle. Many states are now allowing street legal versions. They are about the same size as a golf cart and can be driving on cart paths. The tires are not "DOT" rated but you can upgrade and have tires that are allowed on golf courses as well. It is a matter of what one would intend to use it for. Below link shows a good style of UTV for use in and around TV.
