What is the Law for Golf Carts?

[TNLAKEPANDA]

Does anyone know what the law is (not your opinion) for driving your golf cart... do you need to have photo ID on you or your DL when you are driving your cart?

If you can drive a golf cart at age 14 i doubt they would have either of those items...and that is a fact!

State and Local Governance Issues

In Florida, a golf cart is defined as "a motor vehicle designed and manufactured for operation on a golf course for sporting or recreational purposes" (s. 320.01). Although state statutes set general parameters for the use of golf carts on public roadways, specific rules governing golf cart operation are left to local government entities (usually a city or county). Florida Statutes permit the operation of golf carts during daylight hours; however, the responsible government entity may allow golf carts to be operated on roadways between sunset and sunrise if the golf cart is equipped with headlights, brake lights, turn signals, and a windshield. In Florida, a golf cart operator does not need a driver’s license.

However, you still can be given a citation. If you do not have a DL one will be issued then suspended after a ticket is issued.
