I saw a lot of Florida law in this Handbook. Much of it probably applies to the Villages as well except perhaps where the Villages private property comes into play.

There is a section on Defensive Golf Cart Driving.

You are welcome.

I found that part about legally no one having the right of way interesting. You only yield the right of way.

But, as compared with automobiles, safety is sacrificed in many ways. The ratio of their maximum turning angle to their normal speed is much higher, rendering them easy to roll over on a sharp turn. Their braking systems are limited due to reduced mechanical leverage in the brake system and the relatively low pressure of treads on the road surface.

Of passenger protection on a golf cart, there is practically nothing. No seat belts, no restraining sides or doors, no impact-absorption features of any kind.
Awareness of this difference should make the golf cart operator more careful as he wheels around our streets.

Now dosen't this make you feel comfortable with all that make fun of a LSV and crank their Yamaha's up to 30 mph.

Thought that was an interesting section of this Handbook.
