They are not required, but I won't go anywhere without using them. You can have them installed if you don't have them, a wise move.

My husband's Yamaha doesn't have them. My Club Car does. I use mine. Too many cart drivers have carts because they lost their license to drive a car. If their family/doctor/the state can't trust them behind the wheel of a car, then I think I'm justified in wanting extra caution, knowing that those same people are behind the wheel of a golf cart.

Most comments refer to the driver. At least the driver has the steering wheel but not much for passengers to hang on. More important is the passengers. A fall results in hitting your head. A quick left turn ejected a friend. Caught my wife asleep which is a sure way to fall out. I immediately installed seat belts. Might even be a liability risk.

Just cause they are there don’t mean they will use them. Some people won’t use seat belts in cars cause the rug their shoulders or pinch their bellies. And no I am NOT one of them, but know few that don’t. |

My best friend's wife rolled their golf cart and fortunately had belts.
Immediately thereafter, I had them installed in my 10 years old Yamaha. |

There was a story in the Villages News a couple of days ago about two people in a golf cart without seatbelts who hit a car and got head injuries because they went through the golf cart wind shield as a result of the crash. 20 mph sounds slow but when you hit something solid or moving at the right angle your goft cart can be very dangerous without seat belts. On another note, we also hear the story of the man and wife leaving Brownwood drunk and the husband makes a turn too sharp and the wife is ejected from the cart becasue there were no seat belts only to hit her head and die or get some other serious injury. And using the arm rest to keep you in the cart will not work either. That will snap like a toothpick during a very sharp turn or a collision. |

Newton's laws are enforced everywhere. If your cart does not have them, it would be smart to install them and use them.

Unless there is a memorandum of agreement in place between the owner, in this case the Villages, and the policing agency wherein the owner agrees to allow the policing agency access for the purpose of enforcement.
