Default Golf cart drivers

Have been told that you must have a valid
drivers License to operate a golf cart in the Villagers
Is this a new law.

Apparently not everyone. About an hour ago was passed by a 12-13 year old driving and 8- and 6-year-old.

* Prohibiting a person under 18 years of age from operating a golf cart on certain roadways unless they possess a valid learner’s driver license or valid driver license
* Prohibiting a person 18 years of age or older from operating a golf cart on certain roadways unless they possess a valid form of government-issued photographic identification

Certain roadways…..

The bill (Chapter 2023-67, L.O.F.) requires that a person operating a golf cart on a public road or street, as authorized by the responsible local government entity,

Public roads - i.e. not MMPs

Here’s the law
https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bil...illText/er/PDF

The county must designate county roads that can be golf cart roads. The county/municipality MUST first determine if said road can be operated safely by a golf cart. Possibly, North Morse may not be safe. Is North Morse a County Road or a municipal road? That dictates who authorizes it’s safe.

Over 18, you just need a phot ID, not a drivers license.

I don't know much about north Morse. But is it the same as Megisson in the Citrus Grove/Newell/Lake Denham area with the diamond lane for carts?

If that's the case is that diamond cart lane considered a public road or a MMP?

The reality is that 12-year-old probably drives better than Grandma especially after a few drinks and a few puffs off her vape.

You're married to a 12 year old?

MMPs are off and separate from public roads.

I think you are the one to be puffing on a vape with that misplaced response, as you had that ass backwards.
