Some Florida communities pass local laws to allow golf carts to operate on designated roads and paths within their communities as an available transportation option. By law, you must follow the same rules of the road when driving a golf cart or low speed vehicle as you would if you were driving a car.
Learning how to be proactive about safely operating your golf cart or low speed vehicle, you can gain access to activities and services including recreation, healthcare, education, and shopping to remain connected to your community, beyond the driver's seat.
