Laws are great but they're meaningless if not being enforced. I have yet to see a golf cart pulled over 😂
Never seen one with a seat belt lol
What’s the new laws about dirt bikes and go karts on the highways nothing said about that just wondering see it often?
You can’t tell when sc new at something 🤣
I wonder if Golf Carts that were made without seat belts will be grandfathered in? And, just what is considered a "Seat Belt".
Or how about use them in golf courses. Seems fitting. V
lol this is hilarious because more kids drive them then adults. Y’all ain’t about to go give all these rich kids tickets, it’s just not gonna happen.
How about ones that were driving down alice drive last week turning onto paperbirch. No adults!!
Does this mean golf courses with golf carts that cross roads must be registered and have insurance?
Next will be airbags.
What about ATV’s and UTV’s?? If you let golf carts on the roads are you going to let everything else on the road?
I’m waiting for a new law for bicycles to require seat belts, lol
Well please patrol my neighborhood..kids on it all the time
Ridiculous…and I don’t even own a golf cart. More government regulation…just what SC needed.
Please patrol my area- Keels Rd , Joyce, Hidden Bay, Lens Heaven to Loring Mill!
So, who will be enforcing these laws, because in my area behind Sumter High, down Shallowford and those streets, none of these laws are being kept.
Are they allowed on sidewalks?
Start enforcing this!
Fantastic. More laws 🙄
Please start enforcing your own traffic laws before worrying about golf carts. People drive lawlessly at high rates of speeds, disobeying traffic laws your officers see it and do nothing.
Nanny state
Helmets? Jay Bradley
Golf carts are meant for golf courses not roads period
I sure see a lot of underage drivers by Wilson hall
In The Villages we can go a lot farther than 4 miles daily. Is this for real?

If you want to get high and forget about the heat, go stand in the Walmart Parking Lot any time of the day!! 😡 It’s all over the place!
Keep it cool….
