Hi buggyone: I do not have a street legal cart but I have carried full coverage on my golf cart from day one. Insurers do not require an eye exam for operaing an auto why would they for a golf cart? I understand that when you first apply for ianurance they ask for your drivers license number but once you insure they do not often go back and ask again;albeit there could be reasons why they may want to do so.
By the way if you are in an accident and are an unlicened driver it has not material effect on the negligence issue unless there is a direct link between the lack of a license and the cause of the accident and even then that is a maybe( eyesight issue).
The problem with all of the suggestions here are not that they are no good. In fact their an excellent idea. The problem is with continuing enforcement which would be cumbersome and very costly
