Now is when the golf cart clauses will start showing up on auto insurance policy quotes and renewals:

Do you own a "golf cart' and use it on public roads?

If so there will be a hefty extra premium or you will need to submit an affidavit to the effect it will not exceed 19.9 MPH and you have it insured as an off road vehicle.

This will be in legalese but it will be coming.
