What is the age requirement to drive a golf cart? Is a drivers license required? ty

You must be a minimum of 14 years old to drive a cart. A driver's license is not required.

Wrong, the Florida Statute, not the Villages

So what are the differences???

The only regulation in TV is on the rental carts at the country clubs. There, you must be at least 16 with a driver's license. Other than that, Florida statute applies.

You can drive a golf cart at fourteen with no license in the Villages. You can drive as fast as 20mph in The Villages..

the law provides for TV to allow exceptions in certain situations, which TV follows.

Does anyone know if I need a “handicap” placard on my golf cart like I have for my car in order to park in the handicap spaces in the rec parking lots? Where do I get one? Can I use the one from my car? TY

Handicap placards are not for golf carts (exception: street legal golf carts). They are for REGISTERED motor vehicles. Since you can't register a golf cart (except for street legal carts) in Florida, golf carts are not allowed in those spaces.

Although, in the Villages, apparently every golf-cart-owning disabled person is a special snowflake and parks in them anyway.

But some day, should you ever do that and find yourself with a ticket on your golf score-card clipboard, you'll know why.

Was it really necessary to be rude? I didn't know about the therapeutic effect of driving a golf cart. When a person with a disability arrives in a car they need a closer space but the act of driving a golf cart somehow makes them able to walk a longer distance?

If that is FL law then so be it but given that golf carts are a standard means of transportation here, maybe we need a golf cart equivalent for the handicap pass.
